3.0 out of 5 stars Sticks to its focus of only love stories; most of them dry., 25 Jul 1999
By A Customer
When I think of love stories, I tend to think of something that touches the soul. While these stories were good and well compiled, they didn't touch me in any way--with the exception of "In the Gloaming". These stories appealed to me becuase they didn't focus on other conventional love stories. They were about friends, siblings, people having affairs. This book strived hard to discover love in more places than just the two newly weds. But did throw confusion and boredom in with this discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done, 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Nothing But You: Love Stories from the "New Yorker" (Modern Library) (Paperback)
The choice of stories for this compilation ran the gamut of writing styles and styles of love. My only concern was how many (maybe 2/3!) dealt with infidelity. I suppose Tolstoy had it right when he wrote: 'All happy families are alike.....'

5.0 out of 5 stars In preparation for Valentine's..., 30 Jan 1998
By A Customer
I've been spending the past few months thinking about that "love"-thing. And this book seemed so appropriate I 1-clicked (TM) it. So far, it's been serving it's duty. The fiction is, of course, excellent: it's the New Yorker. But the take on that "love"-thing that Roger Angell has chosen to assume for the magazine is most definitely intriguing. There is quite an emphasis on the true "love" found in affairs, that marriage contains none, only some sort of "duty," that love be of the impassioned and impulsive nature that only those of a poet's constitution could afford.

So, basically, it did make me feel like crap; but what a read.
