Vindication of Love

"A fierce and lively book. . . .This is one of those rare books that could make people think about their intimate lives in a new way." New York Times Book Review A rousing defense of imprudent ardor and romantic excess. . . . Its difficult to deny that [Nehring] is on to something. Wall Street Journal A thinking persons guide that makes the case for love in an age both cynical about and fearful of strong passion. Bold and challenging, A Vindication of Love has inspired praise and controversy, and brilliantly reinvigorated the romance debate. A perfect choice for readers of Alain de Bottons How Proust Can Change Your Life and Pierre Bayards How to Talk About Books You Havent Read.
