Love of the The History of Love
I didn’t realize until after I read this that Nicole Krauss is married to Jonathon Safran Foer, but it makes so much sense because they have very similar writing styles. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close has been one of my favorites since I first read it and The History of Love follows suit. Both are incredibly well-written in a very alluring style.      There are a few different story lines that eventually converge at the end, but even before that as individual stories …

The History of Love
My Highest Recommendation This tale is woven together so masterfully it's nearly impossible to put down. The characters and their distinct voices are rich, unique, and memorable in a way that has worked into my own personal history of the love of reading. We begin by getting to know "the oldest man in the world," Leopold Gursky. There's an ironic aspect to "Leo" as he attempts to make himself known to the world everyday. He's afraid he'll die and no one will know he's missing. This is, perhaps, …
