This is How You Lose Her

Mr. Diaz mugging for the camera in a wooly hat!

By Junot Diaz, New York, Riverhead Books, 2012

More finely crafted short stories by the very skilled Junot Diaz.  He's complained in interviews that he is a very slow writer.  Each story is like a finely crafted jewel.  I wish he was from LA.  I'd enjoy his perspective on West Coast life.  The quintessential American is an immigrant, so his tales feel both utterly familiar and utterly alien.
