Exploring the haunting, impossible power of love in all its forms, This is How You Lose Her is comic in its mopiness, charming in its madness and irresistible in its heartfelt yearning.
In prose that is endlessly energetic, inventive, tender, and funny, the stories in This Is How You Lose Her lay bare the infinite longing and inevitable weakness of the human heart, reminding readers that passion always triumphs over experience, and that 'the half-life of love is forever.'
"It’s a harsh world Díaz conjures but one filled also with beauty and humor and buoyed by the stubborn resilience of the human spirit.” -- People
