Publisher's Note
She Loves Me is Peter Esterhazy's paean to women: beautiful and ugly, kind and nasty, fat and bony, monogamous and promiscuous, seductive, negative, rebellious, and voracious. In ninety-seven short chapters this seductive novel contemplates love and desire and sex and hate, all from the point of view of a manly narrator who considers himself a great and successful lover, a womanizer, a man who may - or may not - be in love with all of the women of the world. Intelligent and funny, this book is a great declaration of love and of contempt, and a philosophical exploration of the many postures and pretenses of eros. With his characteristic verbal pyrotechnics, the serenely jaded Esterhazy proves that there will always be another romance, and that love and hate spring from the same inexhaustible font.

Industry Reviews
"[B]rilliant....Esterhazy, a Hungarian, is clearly in the tradition of Kafka, Hrabal and Kundera....It is one of Esterhazy's many ironic intimations in this erotic encyclopedia that love stories may have nothing in uncommon, that there may be no such thing as a love story. There are just stories about the wayward things couples do together in the name of love."
New York Times Book Review - Adam Phillips (12/21/1997)

"[T]here is a vividness, an electric crackle. The sentences are active and concrete.Physical details leap from the murk of emotional ambivalence....The book's over-all mood of amused cynicism, of wry psychologizing, feels very European."
New Yorker - John Updike (05/25/1998)
