This is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz

Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz offers up stories of love, lust, longing, and heartbreak in his latest book, This is How You Lose Her. Dominican male character Yunior is the driving force that connects Díaz’s intensely feeling short stories that help to chronicle Yunior’s life. Each chapter carefully peels back Yunior’s self in an effort to reveal the true core of his being to the reader. Several of the stories were previously published in The New Yorker, but are given new life in this book. Memorable characters and an infusion of Spanish throughout the text make this a must read for Latinas everywhere.
