From your 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 fresh Jersey laundry area, a woman does her lover’s cleaning and considers his wife. In Boston, a guy buys his love child, his just son, an initial football bat and glove. At the heart of these stories is the irrepressible, amazing Yunior, a hardhead whose desiring love is certainly equaled only by his recklessness–and with the extraordinary females he adores and loses.
In prose that is endlessly lively, inventive, soft, and funny, these stories lay bare the infinite longing and unavoidable weakness from the individual heart. They remind us that passion usually triumphs over knowledge, which “the half-life of love is forever.”
