So, this is a thing I’m doing, I guess!
The Lover’s Dictionary is a novel by David Levithan. It’s told nonlinearly through a series of dictionary definitions like the one above, a chronicle not only of the relationship between the narrator and his lover, but of love and relationships and the complications both of those things bring to life. Each definition tells a story in and of itself.
If you haven’t read it, you should! It’s a quick read! But you don’t have to have read it in order to participate in this fest.
