Story
Things have never been easy for Oscar, a sweet but disastrously overweight, lovesick Dominican ghetto nerd. Oscar dreams of becoming the Dominican J. R. R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the Fuku: the curse that has haunted Oscar's family for generations, dooming them to prison, torture, tragic accidents, and, above all, ill-starred love. Oscar, still waiting for his first kiss, is just its most recent victim.

Story
The stories in This Is How You Lose Her, by turns hilarious and devastating, raucous and tender, lay 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 - "the begging, the crawling over glass, the crying" - to try to mend what we've broken beyond repair. They recall the echoes that intimacy leaves behind, even where we thought we did not care.

Story
When Lola's teacher asks the students to draw a picture of where their families immigrated from, all the kids are excited. Except Lola. She can't remember The Island - she left when she was just a baby. But with the help of her family and friends, and their memories - joyous, fantastical, heartbreaking, and frightening - Lola's imagination takes her on an extraordinary journey back to The Island. As she draws closer to the heart of her family's story, Lola comes to understand the truth of her abuela's words: "Just because you don't remember a place doesn't mean it's not in you."

Story
Junot Díaz hizo su entrada en la escena literaria con esta colección de diez relatos que se desplazan de los barrios de la República Dominicana a los suburbios de Nueva Jersey. Díaz, que según Newsweek combina «la mirada objetiva de un periodista con el verbo de un poeta», evoca un mundo del que han desaparecido los padres, en el que las madres luchan con determinación por sus hijos, y en el que los más jóvenes heredan la crueldad y el avispado humor de unas vidas determinadas por la pobreza y la incertidumbre.

Story
A primeira que ele ama também é a primeira que ele trai. Ao relembrar essa história, Yuniur, um imigrante latino refém de seu sangue quente, dá início a uma inebriante expiação do desejo. Tudo começa com a menina Magda, traída por ele apesar de ser seu primeiro e verdadeiro amor, e culmina na mais recente traição do personagem, que é simplesmente chocante, perturbadora, tanto para o ouvinte quanto para Yuniur—que fica abismado com sua própria canalhice.
