After finishing the novel this past week, I’ve been trying to figure out what Anna Karenina is about. Despite pop culture and most movies, it isn’t just about Anna and Vronsky and their love affair, about how a woman’s extramarital relationship ruins her life.

The two men represent very different kinds of relationships, and our response to them is largely determined, … Continue reading Love, But Not As We Know It
