Description:
|
When he was bequeathed a sky-blue Olivetti typewriter from a friend, journalist Trent Dalton vowed to write ‘something special’. This heart-warming compilation is that ‘something special’ – stories garnered from walking the streets of Brisbane’s CBD [soliciting stories] and then planting himself on a busy street corner with a sign saying ‘Sentimental writer collecting love stories. Do you have one to share?’ An astonishing array of stories about love in all its forms, interspersed with the author’s insights and observations, these anecdotes give testimony to our shared humanity, the importance of connection and the undeniable power of love.
Comments from BDS Reviewers:"The magic of the book is Trent Dalton's ability to connect with people and obtain 150 wonderful stories about their lives".
"The author has the great combination of amazing skill and real empathy".
"The title might be a put-off to some people, but this is not a sentimental romance novel".
"I was deeply moved by the variety of love stories that Trent Dalton shares in the book".
"Each story offers something unique, and I think different moments will resonate differently with each reader".
"This book would be an excellent book for the BDS, with a beautiful cross section of society represented".
