De Botton's first novel, Essays on Love, written at the age of twenty-three, won the hearts of critics, romantics and aesthetes on both sides of the Atlantic. "Experiments of Love" paints a picture of a modern relationship between two young people. The first-person narrative resembles in form either a popular treatise, illustrated with diagrams, diagrams and drawings, or a psychologist’s column in a fashion magazine. Witty and insightful observations, original comparisons and the universality of the situations described are just a few of the amazing discoveries that this book promises the reader.
