Description
“I believe in touch. I believe in song. I believe she remembers him. I believe the perfect girl can always meet the perfect boy. I believe we are not alone in the universe.”
Sitting on a street corner with a typewriter, an author solicits love stories from passers-by. An exuberant and kaleidoscopic series of vignettes follows, based on stories told by real people.
A man proposes to his girlfriend via flash mob; grandparents describe their love for their grandchildren; a woman reconnects with her heroin addicted mother; a widow grieves the loss of her husband.
Interwoven through these narratives is the author’s own love story with his wife. Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author – and one of Australia’s finest journalists – Trent Dalton spent two months in 2021 gathering stories on his sky-blue 1960s Olivetti typewriter, on a prominent street corner in Brisbane’s CBD.
Speaking to Australians from all walks of life, he asked them one simple thing: ‘Can you please tell me a love story?’ What followed was Dalton’s unashamedly joyous collection of Love Stories – wise, poignant, funny and moving in all its guises.
