Alicia Erian's characters are brave, disarming, affectionate, and deeply flawed. They inhabit the not-so-very-wide space between a good intention and a bad outcome. In "Alcatraz," we meet a middle-school spelling champion who spends her afternoons taking baths with the boy next door. In "Almonds and Cherries," a young woman turns an unexpectedly arousing bra-shopping experience into a short film, with ramifications for everyone around her. In "On the Occasion of My Ruination," a college-bound student plots to lose her virginity to a pizza parlor waiter. The Brutal Language of Love challenges traditional notions of right and wrong with what has become Erian's signature -- an achingly stylish humor and a deep understanding of the brutal truth about human nature.

[...] Jag är stum av förundran inför hur exakt det kan bli när någon beskriver en så inexakt och flyktig sak som en stämning eller en känsla.« Rebecka Åhlund, Borås Tidning »Kärlekens brutala språk är en makalös uppvisning i konsten att skriva fängslande noveller. Man skrattar och blir nedstämd om vart annat och vill inte sluta läsa. Det är riktigt, riktigt bra.« Moa Eriksson, Hallandsposten
