Warm, funny, and stylistically savvy, these stories follow an interlocking set of characters and the people they love. Characters weave their way in and out of The Love Olympics, a collection of short fiction set in St. John's. The book is about various forms of love -- the ways love grips us, shakes us, releases and envelops us. The stories are smart, witty, funny, warm, and surprising; they capture the preoccupations of character from different generations who are closely or only tangentially connected to one another. This collection explores people's aspirations, fear, and vulnerabilities; their generosity and desire for connection; their willingness to see past flaws and appreciate other human beings in all their complexity.
