Hi All! Loved "Happy Endings". My favorite stories were So Dear, New Light, Just Right, the story about Sam and Fergus and of course I couldn't wait for Marcus and Michele to meet again. Their letter writing skills gave me hope that it hasn't become a lost art.

We had a great discussion in the office about the 2 professors...can love really be that explosive?

What were your favorites?

Love stories without the passion of cliché. I like these tales for their modesty, simplicity. At the end of “Love Libraries,” for example, the Lithuanian librarian Rasa says to Irishman Declan in chipped English, “But we can just go out and not have to talk and we feel comfortable. That’s love.” I read the story thinking of Nabokov’s Speak, Memory -- the comfortableness of no words that he and Tamara felt gazing at a painting in a remote corner of the Hermitage Museum.
Also, I liked Valmorbida’s technique of contrast in the same story. Beginning with the simple description of two people who have eyes for one another and end being happy, the middle is jabbed with the punches of life.
Another story is about a sonneteer, who loved the geometry of the sonnet’s form -- “three stanzas of four lines, alternating rhymes…” He also loved a poet, who had big, bright eyes and startled hair. Her poetry was dramatic, extreme, intense, and “she broke her sentences, snapped them into pieces.” Their story was one of rhythmical metaphor, but with discordance. After she had snapped him for the last time they became harmonious; the title of the piece indicative: “The Closure of a Couplet.”

I never thought of if that way..."love stories without the passion of cliche".

But wait...isn't a happy ending the biggest cliche of all?

“Love stories without the passion of cliché.” Meaning non-trite endings -- the distinctiveness of detail.

Here's a happy postcript to the story Hungarian Kiss. Just yesterday I went to a 'surprise' brunch. Nobody knew what kind of surprise to expect. When all the guests had arrived, Vilmos and Kati announced that they had just married (they've been together for 40+ years) and the catalyst was... The Book of Happy Endings! They were stirred by the interview with me, they loved the published story (and book), and they were inspired to end their unconventional tale with a real-life "they got married and lived happily ever after". Everybody was given The Book of Happy Endings as a wedding souvenir.

Thank you very much, I managed to let a learning opportunity!

There are a lot of sites out there showing book video. BookVideoTV, BookTelevision and of course CSPAN, but I like how BN.com and Reader''s Entertainment TV have specific genre channels and original shows. There''s just more to see and I can be specific in what genre I''m interested in.

Reader’s Entertainment
