In seventeen absorbing stories, Christopher Guerin explores American sexual mores over the past 50 years. The title novella is a vivid character study of a woman who sleeps next to but not with men. Satire, sex and sexual fantasy, and ironies abound-from campus genius to high mountain meadows, from sexy performance art to the dangerous sexuality of an ultra-intense workplace. Sexual revenge balances the heartbreak of romantic sacrifice. Succubi invade male dormitories, and a young man's sexual initiation comes at the expense of a Vietnam soldier's trust. At times erotic, more often simply frank, Loverless Love displays the variety of our obsessions with sex and love, written with subtlety, humor, and grace in language. PRAISE FOR CHRISTOPHER GUERIN'S STORIES
A strong and compelling assemblage that is sure to perturb and astonish in equal measure. Elegant, impactful writing in a deliciously unnerving collection. -Kirkus Reviews The best short story writers have two things in common: their stories aren't like anybody else's, and once you start reading one, you don't stop until you've finished it. Christopher Guerin passes muster on both counts. -Frank Wilson, Editor, Books.Inq., Book Review Editor (retired), The Philadelphia Inquirer The minimalistic dialogue is reminiscent of one of my favorite authors, Cormac McCarthy, but Guerin's punchy style stands out as uniquely his own. -Readers' Favorite
