title: Lovisa
author: Smith, J. Kirby
description: This novella, which may seem but a too flowery romance to some, tries to go deeply into something far more. Two people who aren’t but in love with one another in some conditional or even sadomasochistic way as is so often the case. Rather, they have a total empathic love: supportive, thoughtful, tender, vast—something so unique today, if not, indeed, nonexistent in this world we live in.
