Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Good. On a beach in the Dominican Republic, in a cramped apartment in New Jersey, in the snowy streets of Boston: wherever he goes, Yunior’s heart gets him into trouble. In this collection of linked stories, Junot Díaz follows Yunior, the restless, funny and deeply flawed narrator who first appeared in Drown and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, through a lifetime of love and its failures. We see him as a boy newly arrived from Santo Domingo, watching his older brother Rafa navigate girls and illness; as a young man juggling relationships and the consequences of his own infidelity; and as an adult who must finally confront the damage he has caused and the possibility that he can change. Interwoven with Yunior’s stories are the voices of the women in his life and of others in his community, offering a vivid portrait of the immigrant experience, of family, masculinity and the hunger for connection. Written with raw honesty, humor and electric, street-smart prose that moves between English and Spanish, This Is How You Lose Her was a finalist for the National Book Award and confirms Díaz as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary fiction. A heartbreaking and exhilarating book about the many ways love can be lost, and the hope of learning to love better.
