About book

This is an automatically translated description

Did you miss Liv Stromqvist? We missed her too. The world-famous activist continues her satirical work with graphic medicine with a collection of humorous sketches about how historical and social changes have changed-and perhaps destroyed-romantic love."

Let's start with the simplest question of all. Why does Leonardo DiCaprio date an endless string of 20-year-old models? In response, Liv traces how philosophers and artists, from the ancient Greeks to Beyoncé, have conceptualised romantic love. Drawing in a flat, blocky style, Strömquist's signature characters question each other and offer sharp commentary, guiding readers through history and changing societal values: from showing love/love to receiving love/being loved. Lord Byron, Socrates, Han Bionchhol, Ezra Pound, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Ariadne and many others make cameo appearances.

Strömqvist asks: can romantic love survive in a rationalistic, consumerist world?
