" Nobody does scrappy, sassy, twice-the-speed of sound dialogue better than Junot Díaz. Yet he weds form so ideally to content that instead of blinding us, it becomes the very lens through which we can see the joy and suffering of the signature Díaz subject: what it means to belong to a diaspora, to live out the possibilities and ambiguities of perpetual insider/outsider status." - The New York Times Book Review His prose style is so irresistible, so sheerly entertaining, it risks blinding readers to its larger offerings. a syncopated swagger-step between opacity and transparency, exclusion and inclusion, defiance and desire.
" Junot Díaz writes in an idiom so electrifying and distinct it's practically an act of aggression, at once enthralling, even erotic in its assertion of sudden intimacy.

In prose that is endlessly energetic, inventive, tender, and funny, these stories lay bare the infinite longing and inevitable weakness of the human heart.
