"Electrifying." -The New York Times Book Review "Exhibits the potent blend of literary eloquence and street cred that earned him a Pulitzer Prize… Díaz's prose is vulgar brave and poetic." -O Magazine From the award-winning author a stunning collection that celebrates the haunting impossible power of love. On a beach in the Dominican Republic a doomed relationship flounders. In a New Jersey laundry room 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. In prose that is endlessly energetic inventive tender and funny these stories 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."
