This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz
4.0
A collection of shorts, several of them on the same characters, that both hits very close to home and feels as foreign and out of reach as the Dominican Republic actually is to a white woman like me.
The natures of fidelity and infatuation and sex and carelessness are so universal that it's amazing Diaz can puts words to them at all. The shared human experience here is colored with the slang and Spanish and nerdiness that we've come to love from him, and each story is savory without feeling overwhelming.
