Our Best Love Story traces the end of a
romance as an unnamed narrator wanders
the streets of his city, attempting to endure
his new solitude, taking refuge in remembered
places and imagined companions. Told
in a series of fragments, the novel wrestles
powerfully but playfully with its own obligation
to craft a satisfying story of love’s formation,
its decay, and its eventual end.
Ultimately, Levi’s novel asks readers to
consider whether books, stories, reading,
writing, the artificial life and companionship
found in literature, can ever truly form ... Read morean
adequate response to the inescapable fact of
human solitude.
