A New York Times Bestseller, A Pulitzer Prize-winning Author -- Junot Díaz turns his remarkable talent to the haunting, impossible power of love -- obsessed love, illicit love, fading love, maternal love. At the heart of these stories is the irrepressible Yunior, a young hardhead whose yearning for love is equaled only by his recklessness. Through prose that is endlessly energetic, inventive, tender, and funny, Díaz lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weakness of the human heart.
