Junot Diaz
Faber & Faber
224 pages, R499
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, a collection of linked narratives about love—passionate love, illicit love, dying love, maternal love—told through the lives of New Jersey Dominicans as they struggle to find a point where their two worlds meet. In prose that is energetic and inventive, tender and funny, Diaz lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of the human heart.
