Loves That Bind

Loves That Bind is an erotic and literary adventure that follows Emil, a man abandoned by the woman he loves, through the streets of London as he searches for her. Through twenty-six intricately detailed letters to his fugitive lover, Emil recounts affairs with women who each bear an uncanny resemblance to famous literary heroines. As his past love affairs become increasingly extravagant and hallucinatory, Emil's letters adopt the tone, style, and substance of great twentieth century novelists. A linguistic tour de force, Loves That Bind is a seductive puzzle saturated with wordplay.
