Modern Love

Ah, the Sunday New York Times. Let’s be honest: our first read—and enduring guilty pleasure—is “Modern Love.” The iconic column on romance in all its guises brings us a wealth of intimate and sweeping love stories. Daniel Jones has been its editor for the last 10 years. He and some Chicago-based contributors (Courtney Queeney and David Finch) discuss the column and examine contemporary love in all its treachery and tenderness. Their conversation is moderated by Chicago Tribune advice columnist Amy Dickinson.
