This Is How You Lose Her

by Junot Díaz

This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Díaz, published in hardcover by Riverhead Books in 2012. This copy retains its dust jacket and is identified by ISBN 9781594487361. The number line ends in 7, indicating a seventh printing of the first U.S. hardcover edition.

Díaz’s linked collection follows Yunior and other Dominican and Dominican American characters through love, infidelity, regret, family, and cultural displacement. Moving through settings including the Dominican Republic, New Jersey, and Boston, the stories combine emotional vulnerability with an energetic, distinctive narrative voice. The collection was a finalist for the 2012 National Book Award for Fiction and the 2013 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and it was selected for the American Library Association’s 2013 Notable Books list.

This copy is signed by Junot Díaz on a patterned interior page. The photograph shows a large black-ink signature or flourish with additional handwritten notation; the smaller wording is not fully legible, so the copy is not described as flat signed.

Very Good overall, as assessed by the seller. The dust jacket shows light edge and corner wear, minor surface marks or rubbing, and slight handling wear along portions of the upper edge. The photographed copyright page appears clean and legible. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
