A young woman goes through the five stages of ghosting grief. A man’s promising fourth date ends in the emergency room. A female lawyer with bipolar disorder experiences the highs and lows of dating. A widower hesitates about introducing his children to his new girlfriend. A divorcée in her seventies looks back at the beauty and rubble of past relationships.
These are just a few of the people who tell their stories in Modern Love, Revised and Updated, featuring dozens of the most memorable essays to run in The New York Times “Modern Love” column since its debut in 2004.
Some of the stories are unconventional, while others hit close to home. Some reveal the way technology has changed dating forever; others explore the timeless struggles experienced by anyone who has ever searched for love. But all of the stories are, above everything else, honest. Together, they tell the larger story of how relationships begin, often fail, and—when we’re lucky—endure.
Edited by longtime “Modern Love” editor Daniel Jones and featuring a diverse selection of contributors—including Mindy Hung, Trey Ellis, Ann Hood, Deborah Copaken, Terri Cheney, and more—this is the perfect audiobook for anyone who’s loved, lost, stalked an ex on social media, or pined for true romance: In other words, anyone interested in the endlessly complicated workings of the human heart.

Eleven narrators perform the 40 pieces gathered in this collection of essays originally published in the NEW YORK TIMES's "Modern Love" column. The personal and revealing sketches included in this audiobook touch on many aspects of love. For example, Sean Runnette captures both the humor and the frustration in a story of a romantic date that ends up in the emergency room, and Catherine Ho delivers a sensitive and lively performance of an evangelical woman who discovers her true love may not be the church but a woman in her Bible group. Other essays involve themes of marriage, transgender, adoption, sperm donation, dating after divorce, widowhood, online dating, disabilities, and parenthood. Listeners will find no weak links; the pairings of narrator and essay are spot-on. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
