This. This. This. Is. Love. Love. Love.
This. This. This. Is. Love. Love. Love. | Jennifer Wortman
4 posts | 1 read
This. This. This. Is. Love. Love. Love. contains thirteen stories, full-length and flash, that explore love-sexual, platonic, filial, and beyond-in its gritty and beguiling forms. A small-town teenager pursues an eccentric pinball wizard after her grandfather's move to her home shakes up her parents' marriage; a chronic depressive turns to a TV animal psychic in hopes of mending her relationship with her dog-loving dad; a middle-aged recovering alcoholic goes back to college and becomes fixated on his stern professor. Throughout the collection, as characters in various stages of life try to navigate love, they court obsession, madness, and transcendence.

“I genuinely want him to come with me to the phone boy‘s show. Not just because I love him, but to protect that love from the new excitement taking over my brain. Deep down, though, I also crave the charge of having him and the phone boy in the same room. I am a terrible person, and worse still because though I genuinely want him to come to the phone boy‘s show, I‘m also genuinely thrilled he can‘t.

‘Love you,‘ I say. ‘Bye.‘”

“I wave my prehistoric phone at him, a practical unnecessity but a spiritual must. He is my confessor and my phone is my confession. Forgive me. I don‘t belong in this world.”

😮 If I had to pinpoint the lines that made me a fan of this collection I‘d like to go on the record that these are them! Less than two pages in and I‘m stunned! You feel the narrator‘s shame, the materialistic guilt so conflicting in the necessity. Simply master class! 💯
