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

课上要求写书评，写完顺手贴上来了。：） When I was trying to find a way to summarize “This is how you lose her”, it feels as if I am trying to distill the ocean into a rain drop. I found myself slammed by the rich reality in the book that depicts a world ...

很久没有读小说，太久没有写书评。其实我这人真没写过正经书评，都是阅后即焚的随笔性质，于这本也一样。作者朱诺-迪亚斯出生于多米尼加共和国，噢，此前我对多米尼加的了解仅有两项，一是飞人博尔特（人家牙买加的，一直搞错囧），二是我曾经买过一个多米尼加配色的Skullcandy...  

朱诺•迪亚斯的短篇小说集《你就这样失去了她》，全然是一幅负心男出轨连环戏码。主角尤尼奥周旋于高中女教师、大学艺术系女生、女律师等之间，无一例外，他都先后充当了负心汉的角色，且其出轨无出意外地被发现，之后自然不会有他好果子吃，一应演出俱全，不差分毫。如果...  

用户评价

其实不是很懂人类做出轨这件事的动机。可以理解想要一时的刺激，可是之后出现的永远无法解决的麻烦如此的费时费力，是那一点点刺激完全补不回来的呀。

兵荒马乱的加班中翻完的，其实很致郁啊这本书，渣男背后的心酸。

看的时候多次笑出声了

这本书都在讲cheater's contrition，背景是多米尼加移民的生活侧写。Junot Diaz把那种挣扎和绝望的心情写得很好，臣服于当下的欲望后又后悔，改头换面一段时间后再重蹈覆辙，又生自我厌弃的心，不知会循环多久。所以当欲望带来的满足感越来越短暂，自我厌恶越来越强烈，一个人还会重走老路吗？以我克服自身弱点的经验来衡量，还是会，然而总是还要start afresh，人最不理智的表现大概就是知道什么对自己不利还一头栽进去……
