The best-selling author of How Proust Can Change Your Life and The Art of Travel revisits his utterly charming debut novel, On Love. The narrator is smitten by Chloe on a Paris–London flight, and by the time they’ve reached the luggage carousel he knows he is in love. He loves her chestnut hair, watery green eyes, the gap that makes her teeth Kantian and not Platonic, and her views on Heidegger’s Being and Time — but he hates her taste in shoes. Plotting the course of their affair from the initial delirium of infatuation to the depths of suicidal despair, through a fit of anhedonia — defined in medical texts as a disease resulting from the terror brought on by the threat of utter happiness — and finally through the terrorist tactics employed when the beloved begins, inexplicably, to drift away, On Love is filled with profound observations and useful diagrams, examining for all of us the pain and exhilaration of love.

Love deserves the chance to grow. I chose to give it a chance.
评分We all wanna be a happy amoeba naturally shifting between all sides of ourselves without the constraints imposed by the preconceptions of others; not even the ones we loved, nor the ones who claimed loving us. Is love more often related to misunderstanding or true understanding?
评分太好看
评分看似普通的恋爱故事,诙谐的叙述和解析。这个水平的英文我并不能看得很清楚,除了:Fxck, they're fxcking!
评分一个大龄男文青的蜜月期甜言腻语和失恋期哲理吐槽
