MY MISTRESS'S SPARROW IS DEAD: GREAT LOVE STORIES FROM CHEKHOV TO MUNRO edited by Jeffrey Eugenides. HarperPress, 539pp, $34.99.

All the world loves a good love story and this bulky anthology of love stories will satisfy the most discriminating connoisseurs. With an obligatory bow to the past (Guy de Maupassant, Anton Chekhov and Vladimir Nabokov), the emphasis of the collection is heavily on the contemporary or near- contemporary. The result is a piquant mix of writers, styles and themes. --Christopher Moore
