Synopsis
Spanish novelist Rios delivers a fascinating and enjoyable tale of love, abandonment, and lust. Emil finds himself discarded by his lover, and resolves to find her. To woo her back, he sends her letters recounting his past loves--26 to be exact--from A to Z. The letters are written in the style of famous 20th-century novelists such as Proust and Fitzgerald, and each love affair he describes is more outrageous than the next. A "New York Times" Notable Book for 1998.

Industry Reviews
"A literary tour de force...most readers will be entranced by this book-length love letter to modern literature."
Washington Post Book World - Johathan Yardley (05/24/1998)
"'Loves that Bind'...is a hoot, and perfectly accessible to anybody who's ever read a book or been, even fleetingly, a fool for love. Enjoy."
Doherty
"In 'Loves That Bind', Spanish writer Julian Rios has created the literary equivalent of pheasant under glass: an odd idea executed with great skill."
Paglia
"Juan Goytisolo, a Spanish writer who admires Rios, has said that if a book is worth reading once, it is worth reading more than once: a better example of that principle than 'Loves That Bind' would be hard to imagine."
Yardley
