mener nos amours comme bon nous semble, mais nest-ce pas devenu un piège qui risque de nous perdre dans létendue des possibilités ? Lamoureux contemporain est souvent montré dans les œuvres de fiction comme un être cynique, désinvesti voire désabusé par lamour. Pourtant, à écouter parler les auteurs à qui nous donnons la parole ici, force est de croire quil existe un autre pan à notre imaginaire amoureux À la lumière de plusieurs discussions fort animées, nous avons demandé à une dizaine dentre eux, des trentenaires, de nous raconter une histoire sur lamour au XXIe siècle. Lenthousiasme avec lequel ces auteurs ont répondu à lappel nous laisse croire que le sujet fascine et inspire notre imaginaire. De lhistoire burlesque, tragique, au conte poétique en passant par lessai philosophique ou la fable romantique, les fictions qui composent cet éventail de nos amours reflètent létat de notre mythologie amoureuse, multiple, complexe et parfois moins désespérée quon serait tenté de le croire." -- 4e de couv
