Junot Diaz shapes his 'bad guy' in 'This is How You Lose Her'
not a bad guy, is the first thing Yunior,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Junot Diaz favorite protagonist, tells us about himself in Diaz latest book,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is How You Lose Her (Riverhead). The statement is precisely the sort of dissembling lie a disreputable man would tell. Is it the truth or merely a hope to which the increasingly desperate Yunior clings?
Diaz,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who has lived with Yunior and his idiosyncrasies for so long three books and many headaches and heartaches now agrees that the answer is complicated.
so difficult,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Diaz says. just so difficult! There something knotted about him. But he human in his vulnerability; he human in his awfulness. He human in his struggle for something better than his life, even in his stubborn unwillingness to head in the direction of his better self.
Diaz first introduced Yunior in his acclaimed short story collection Eleven years later, Yunior reappeared to narrate the magnetic novel Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which blended savage Dominican history with geek culture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], earned Diaz a National Book Critics Circle Award and a Pulitzer Prize. It almost certainly contributed to Diaz receiving of a MacArthur grant.
Now Yunior has returned in a second collection of linked stories about love and loss. (The book was nominated for a National Book Award; the winner wasn announed at presstime.) In them Yunior, whose family has emigrated from the Dominican Republic to New Jersey, faces his father abandonment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his older brother death from cancer, his own thoughtless betrayal of women and fear for the future.

It was kind of a wild thing. I wasn expecting it to take this long,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], honestly. Yunior is a cheater; in the book opening story, Sun, the Moon, the Stars,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he scrambling to keep his girlfriend from leaving him after she learns of his infidelity ( cheated on her with this chick who had tons of eighties freestyle hair. Didn tell Magda about it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], either. You know how it is. A smelly bone like that, better off buried in the backyard of your life. In Fifth Assassin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he skillfully makes the narrative accessible to newcomers without alienating fans who are familiar with Inner Circle. And readers will be richly rewarded.

Sue Grafton new collection of short stories,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "Kinsey and Me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," is a mixed bag of material. There are gems inside that fans of Grafton's "alphabet series" of Kinsey Millhone detective capers are sure to enjoy.

Mansbach rekindles golden age of graffiti
Adam Mansbach is a novelist best known for a parody. But don think that he bears any ill will toward the F**k to Sleep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his hilarious, best-selling ode to toddler-whipped parents.
The latest young adult nonfiction selections were particularly compelling. I don envy the panel of judges who has to bestow the 2013 Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults at the American Library Association meeting this month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
