You try every trick in the book to keep her. You write her letters. You drive her to work. You quote Neruda [...] You try it all, but one day she will simply sit up in bed and say, No more.

In Yunior, a Dominican-American writer and Harvard professor, Junot Diaz has created an irresistibly erratic protagonist, who sweeps you up in the poetic energy of his speech as he rehearses a broad repertoire of bad behaviour.

Originally the climactic tale in the chain-linked This is How You Lose Her, The Cheater's Guide to Love is a superb standalone song of decadence and experience.
