Love
VINTAGE CLASSICS' AMERICAN GOTHIC SERIES
A haunting and affecting meditation on love from the Nobel-prize winning author of Beloved.
May, Christine, Heed, Junior, Vida — even L — all are women obsessed with Bill Cosey. He shapes their yearnings for a father, husband, lover, guardian, and friend.
This audacious vision from a master storyteller on the nature of love — its appetite, its sublime possession, and its consuming dread — is rich in characters and dramatic events, and in its profound sensitivity to just how alive the past can be.
Sensual, elegiac and unforgettable, Love ultimately comes full circle to that indelible, overwhelming first love that marks us forever.
Winner of the PEN/Saul Bellow award for achievement in American fiction

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
