"Asi es como la pierdes es un libro sobre mujeres que quitan el sentido, sobre el amor y el ardor, sobre la traicio n, porque a veces traicionamos lo que ma s queremos, y tambie n es un libro sobre el suplicio que pasamos despue s--los ruegos, las la grimas, la sensacio n de estar atravesado un campo de minas--para intentar recuperar lo que perdimos, aquello que crei amos que no queri amos, que no nos importaba. Estos cuentos nos ensen an las leyes fijas del amor: que la desesperanza de los padres la acaban sufriendo los hijos, que lo que les hacemos a nuestros ex amantes nos lo hara n inevitablemente a nosotros, y que aquello de 'amar al pro jimo como a uno mismo' no funciona bajo la influencia de Eros. Pero sobre todo, estos cuentos nos recuerdan que el ardor siempre triunfa sobre la experiencia, y que el amor, cuando llega de verdad, necesita ma s de una vida para desvanecerse."--
Presents a collection of stories that explores the heartbreak and radiance of love as it is shaped by passion, betrayal, and the echoes of intimacy.
