The Varieties of Romantic Experience by Robert Cohen

letitiaharmon's review against another edition

2.0

I disliked every story in this collection. The only reason I did not give it 1 star was due to the overall good quality of writing. But the drone of nearly always male narrator (they might have all been male but I'm too lazy to go back and actually verify this) going through some sort of completely inconsequential internal trauma fulfilled some of the worst stereotypes of people who read anthologies recommended on NPR. Not only did I not identify with a single sentence of this book but I found only a few turns of phrases marginally interesting.
