The highly anticipated new book by Jeffrey Eugenides is a pleasant surprise for readers!

The book titled "My Love's Sparrow Flew Away," translated by Anna Papastavrou, is an anthology of twenty-four short stories "from Chekhov to Munro," as the author himself aptly puts it, dedicated to love stories. "If you're looking for a way to narrow your literary horizon, choosing 'love' as a theme doesn't help much. Seen from a certain perspective, almost every story seems to be a love story. However, generally speaking, what gives life to most stories in this anthology is love, as eros and not as affection."

Jeffrey Eugenides, after his dynamic entry into the literary world with "The Virgin Suicides" (which also gave us the film of the same name directed by Sofia Coppola) and the monumental "Middlesex" (which won him the Pulitzer Prize in 2003, translated into dozens of languages, achieving impressive success worldwide), returns, again from LIBRO editions, to give us another opportunity to get to know him in depth, but also to find in one book outstanding literary samples from:
Harold Brodkey, Anton Chekhov, Grace Paley, William Faulkner, Denis Johnson, David Bezmozgis, Deborah Eisenberg, Milan Kundera, William Trevor, Guy de Maupassant, Gilbert Sorrentino, Vladimir Nabokov, Lorrie Moore, Mary Robison, David Gates, Isaac Babel, George Saunders, Richard Ford, Stuart Dybek, Miranda July, Bernard Malamud, Raymond Carver, Harold Brodkey, Alice Munro.
