Seven stories about love from the author of the international bestseller “The Reader,” whose phenomenal success can be compared only to the popularity of Patrick Süskind’s “Perfume.” Like the now-popular author Janusz Wiśniewski, in “Other Man” Schlink explores different faces of love—from love as habit to love that opens up new, unknown horizons.
What is love? Why do people crave love so much and why do they run from it?
Why don’t they protect their love until it’s too late?
Seven sad and lyrical stories by Schlink—seven possible answers to this question.
