Synopsis

Set in France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Africa, and Canada, "So This is Love" brings together nine powerful stories that mix violence and desire, sex and murder, past and present. In sparkling, insightful prose that recalls Milan Kundera and Ian McEwan, Gilbert Reid takes the reader on a journey through warzones, bohemian apartments, idyllic rural farms, and the dark streets of Rome. Madly romantic, subtly subversive, and utterly accomplished, his collection of stories is about love, sex, and the politics of desire - sometimes sad, sometimes harsh, sometimes perverse, but always beautiful.

About this title

Review

"In every story, readers engage with an intelligent and observant narrator who plays with expectations, flipping context or subject in fun or inventive ways. This eclectic collection reads a bit like a series of one night stands." Quill & Quire"
