Through an incongruous gauntlet of slot machines and slot canyons, visitors and locals strive to make connections. How does navigating a beautiful wasteland affect their views of romance and regret?<\/p>\n

A collection of original short stories, plus a series of text-based artworks, Love in the Dunes: Las Vegas Writers on Passion and Heartache challenges the common definitions of desire and heartbreak. Some of these tales express love that\u2019s as bleak as the miles of desert surrounding Sin City. Others describe love vividly, like basking in the glow of downtown\u2019s Glitter Gulch.<\/p>\n

In this 12th volume in the annual Las Vegas Writes anthology, 12 local writers articulate how people surrender their hearts in a city of lust and taboo, comfort and hunger, sweetness and despair\u2014searching beyond the glamour to reveal what it means to encounter love in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Writes is a program of Nevada Humanities, published by Huntington Press, with support from the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District,\u00a0and part of the Las Vegas Book Festival. Las Vegas Writes anthology\u00a0is an annual collection of writings by local authors focused on a theme connected to Las Vegas.\u00a0 For more information visit:\u00a0https:\/\/www.nevadahumanities.org\/las-vegas-writes<\/a><\/p>\n
