Constance DeJonge's novel Modern Love is a postmodern classic, an example of innovative prose of its time. This is a detective story and science fiction. This is the story of the expulsion of Sephardi Jews from Spain. This is a love story told from the heart of the Lower East Side. This is the story of Charlotte, Rodrigo and Fifi Corday. It is a form that defies time, voice and genre, carefully constructed and personal at the same time. DeJong, an important figure in the New York media art scene of the 70s and 80s, mailed Modern Love in installments, published it in book form and turned into an hour-long radio play, the music for which was composed by Philip Glass.
