"When it conies to love, there are a million theories to explain it. But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can never be about full possession. . . . Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name... It is perhaps only in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer." - JEFFREY EUGENIDES, from the introduction to My Mistress s Sparrow Is Dead.
