Description
Love, when it hits us for real, has a half-life of forever.
The eagerly awaited new collection about the haunting, impossible power of love from Junot Díaz, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.
On a beach in Santo Domingo, a doomed relationship flounders; in the heat of a hospital laundry room in New Jersey, a woman does her lover’s washing and thinks about his wife; in Boston, a man buys his love-child, his only son, his first baseball kit. At the centre of these stories is the irrepressible, irresistible voice of Yunior, a young Dominican finding his way in New Jersey. As he and his family persist through broken promises, broken hearts and painful longing, passion, as always, triumphs over experience.
In prose that is endlessly energetic, inventive, tender and funny, This Is How You Lose Her lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of the human heart.
