The Lover's Dictionary

Simplistic yet rich, Levithan's novel is unique. Styled as a “dictionary” of one unnamed couple
s relationship, Levithan spins poetic webs out of utterly mundane events of life. I lament losing my copy, and have spent much time trying to find it again, hoping to be sucked back into Levithan's prose, full force.

2018: reading this book is like meeting an old friend. I'm older and in a different place in my life than when I picked this book up the first time, and I felt each word in a different yet utterly familiar way. A masterpiece worthy of regular rereading.
