Junot Diaz: Pulitzer Prize Winner

Junot Díaz, Guggenheim Fellow and recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 for his novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao turns his prodigious talent to the haunting, impossible power of love. His new book of stories, This Is How You Lose Her, by turns hilarious and devastating, raucous and tender, lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of our all-too-human hearts. They capture the heat of new passion, the recklessness with which we betray what we most treasure, and the torture we go through to try to mend what we've broken beyond repair. These stories remind us that the habit of passion always triumphs over experience, and that ¿love, when it hits us for real, has a half-life of forever.¿
