Pulitzer Prize-winner Junot Díaz’s first book, Drown, established him as a major new writer with “the dispassionate eye of a journalist and the tongue of a poet” (Newsweek). His first novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, was named #1 Fiction Book of the Year” by Time magazine and spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, establishing itself – with more than a million copies in print – as a modern classic. In addition to the Pulitzer, Díaz has won a host of major awards and prizes, including the National Book Critic’s Circle Award, the PEN/Malamud Award, the PEN/O. Henry Prize, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and the Anisfield-Wolf Award.

Now Díaz turns his remarkable talent to the haunting, impossible power of love – obsessive love, illicit love, fading love, maternal love. On a beach in the Dominican Republic, 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, a first baseball bat and glove. At the heart of these stories is the irrepressible, irresistible Yunior, a young hardhead whose longing for love is equaled only by his recklessness--and by the extraordinary women he loves and loses: artistic Alma; the aging Miss Lora; Magdalena, who thinks all Dominican men are cheaters; and the love of his life, whose heartbreak ultimately becomes his own. In prose that is endlessly energetic, inventive, tender, and funny, the stories in the New York Times-Bestselling This Is How You Lose Her lay bare the infinite longing and inevitable weakness of the human heart. They remind us that passion always triumphs over experience, and that “the half-life of love is forever.”

读后感

这本书一定会让为写论文抓耳挠腮的文学系学生欢呼雀跃。天哪！拉丁裔美国人的生活——身份认同和种族多元化一定是绝佳话题。贫民窟背景——请搬来马克思主义和社会批判的大炮。作者是个童年坎坷的MIT教授的——这不是典型的Rags to riches的美国梦么，请开动文化研究和新历...  

by 谷立立 朱诺•迪亚斯自称“多米尼加奇葩”，行事之古怪刁钻，行文之任性大胆，当今美国文坛无人能出其右。从文学渊源来看，迪亚斯师从托妮•莫里森、桑德拉•希斯内罗斯两位名家。巧的是，三个人都是来自边缘的少数族裔。这样的背景为迪亚斯的写作加上了额外的限定，...  

我这人吧，其实不坏。我知道这话听起来是啥样——自我辩护、厚颜无耻，但我真的不算坏啊。我和其他所有人一样：软弱，会犯很多错误，但基本上还算良善之辈吧。玛歌达莉娜可不同意。在她眼里，我是个典型的多米尼加男人：混蛋、孬种。你瞧，好多个月以前，玛歌达还是我的女朋友...

有的时候，我们能够拥有的，就只有一个开头而已。 这本二百来页的集子不止于爱情，迪亚斯用短篇串联、戏谑的笔法展现出了多米尼加移民一代的掠影：浓烈的性、亲人间的分离与死亡、拉美有色人种的欢笑与泪水。上次看迪亚斯是《奥斯卡·瓦奥短暂而奇妙的一生》，迪亚斯的多米尼加...

意外收获

How come you don't hate this cheater? <把妹把没>很神，能让曾遭背叛无数次的女性读者也会不自觉地认同体恤书中的浪子叙述者男主角. 可能因为他观察到的和在意的细节让人觉得他温柔，比如他会注意到某女友皮肤上蚊子叮的红印，另一个的头发密得能藏进拳头。这种时刻用《倚天屠龙记》的话说，是“心中一荡”，既荡了小说中的人物，又荡了读者。或者因为它把the vulnerability of masculinity写得好，旦旦而伐的种马虚张声势的脆弱，期待敞开。哪门讲intimacy的课把这本短篇小说集和Lauren Berlant放在一堂读应该不错。我也挺喜欢他叙述的速度和声东击西，角谷美智子称其为"caffeinated" prose，我觉得可以说是haptic.

心虚的赶在年末挑了本薄的书看完，quite not interesting a book

最后那只叫做The Cheater's Guide to Love的故事写得真好看，Junot Diaz内心根本是个放松又深情的痞子吧，另外书名只能说明故事的一半内容，补充完整应该是：You Are Not That Into Her and This Is How You Lose Her.

扭曲的自怜自恋以及自我迷醉。
