Deborah Levy

’Elisa said Yes and I said Yes. We said Yes in all the European languages. Yes. We said yes we said yes, yes to vague but powerful things, we said yes to hope which has to be vague, we said yes to love which is always blind, we smiled and said yes without blinking.’ (’A Better Way to Live’) ----------- How does love change us? And how do we change ourselves for love - or for lack of it?

Ten stories by acclaimed author Deborah Levy explore these delicate, impossible questions.

In Vienna, an icy woman seduces a broken man; in London, a bird mimics an old-fashioned telephone; in adland, a sleek copywriter becomes a kind of shaman.

These are twenty-first century lives dissected with razor-sharp humour and curiosity, stories about what it means to live and love, together and alone.
