LUST LIES and LOVE: Twenty Tales of Love Gone Bad

By John Corral

These are stories about love. Not love that is sweet and tender, sublime and true, and has as little in common with reality as unicorns playing in a garden. Things don't always go as people want them to, and, in particular, when it comes to love. A lot of bad things happen instead, things that people may be ashamed of, or worse. But there is also love in these stories. Some of them, anyway. There is the love of long-term couples, there is the love of newly discovered lovers, and there is the love of friends. There is affection -between lovers, between colleagues, between strangers encountered on the street. There is respect: for love, for desire, for scars, for the complicated places where love and desire overlap. Above all, there is respect for love itself. That to strive for love, and have it -even for a moment, is reason enough to continue to seek it.
