Author Trent Dalton asked strangers to tell him their love stories (Rebroadcast)

A soldier of the British Expeditionary Force, arriving back from Dunkirk, is greeted affectionately by his girlfriend.
A soldier of the British Expeditionary Force, arriving back from Dunkirk, is greeted affectionately by his girlfriend.

In 2021, Trent Dalton sat down with a typewriter on a busy corner in Brisbane, Australia, and asked people to tell him their love stories. 

Those tales are now rolled up into his first book, “Love Stories.” It’s over 300 pages and talks about the meaning of love, from strangers and Dalton alike.

“Love Stories” releases in the U.S. on March 28. We talk to Dalton about what it means to know love and talk about it with strangers.
