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

是小说家Junot Diaz短篇集 “This is How You Lose Her” 开头引用的诗, Okay, we didn't work, and all memories to tell you the truth aren't good. But sometimes there were good times. Love was good. I loved your crooked sleep beside me and never dreamed afraid. ...  

2013第一本书，开始用豆瓣做记录。延续2012年最后一本Junot Diaz的精彩到停不下来的小说，这本只是悲，悲到至极。看到这本书，在我把JD的podcast听了十几遍以后，有些迷恋，对他涉及的内容有点失望：为什么要写男人的不忠，是因为自己是cheater，或他只是害怕受到伤害？用他自...  

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...
