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.”

評分 評分有的時候,我們能夠擁有的,就隻有一個開頭而已。 這本二百來頁的集子不止於愛情,迪亞斯用短篇串聯、戲謔的筆法展現齣瞭多米尼加移民一代的掠影:濃烈的性、親人間的分離與死亡、拉美有色人種的歡笑與淚水。上次看迪亞斯是《奧斯卡·瓦奧短暫而奇妙的一生》,迪亞斯的多米尼加...

最後那隻叫做The Cheater's Guide to Love的故事寫得真好看,Junot Diaz內心根本是個放鬆又深情的痞子吧,另外書名隻能說明故事的一半內容,補充完整應該是:You Are Not That Into Her and This Is How You Lose Her.
評分感覺名字和題記其實都沒有那麼恰當。。更像是一部多米尼加底層人民的生活寫照。。
評分其實不是很懂人類做齣軌這件事的動機。可以理解想要一時的刺激,可是之後齣現的永遠無法解決的麻煩如此的費時費力,是那一點點刺激完全補不迴來的呀。
評分這本書都在講cheater's contrition,背景是多米尼加移民的生活側寫。Junot Diaz把那種掙紮和絕望的心情寫得很好,臣服於當下的欲望後又後悔,改頭換麵一段時間後再重蹈覆轍,又生自我厭棄的心,不知會循環多久。所以當欲望帶來的滿足感越來越短暫,自我厭惡越來越強烈,一個人還會重走老路嗎?以我剋服自身弱點的經驗來衡量,還是會,然而總是還要start afresh,人最不理智的錶現大概就是知道什麼對自己不利還一頭栽進去……
評分剛看完第一章,讀得好爽。在浦東館報刊閱覽斜桌漫不經心地看瞭一下午~臨走時候發現右手邊就是紐約時報。不外藉,所以以後可以常來報道啦。
