A must-have collector's edition of Junot Diaz's bestseller and National Book Award finalist, brilliantly illustrated by celebrated comic artist Jaime Hernandez A major "New York Times "bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award, "This Is How You Lose Her "is Pulitzer Prize-winner Junot Diaz's celebration of love in all its facets--obsessive love, illicit love, fading love, maternal love. For this gorgeous new edition, Jaime Hernandez--deemed "one of the twentieth century's most significant comic creators"--has crafted stunning full-page illustrations, one for each story, that brilliantly capture the love-haunted spirit of the book and of the gutsy women whom irrepressible, irresistible Yunior loves and loses.

On a beach in the Dominican Republic, a doomed relationship flounders. In a New Jersey laundry room, a woman does her lover’s washing and thinks about his wife. In Boston, a man buys his love child, his only son, a first baseball bat and glove. At the heart of these stories is the irrepressible, irresistible Yunior, a young hardhead whose longing for love is equaled only by his recklessness--and by the extraordinary women he loves and loses.

This Great Hemisphere is powerful, captivating novel about how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love. With the worldbuilding of N. K. Jemisin’s novels and blazing defiance of Naomi Alderman’s work, it is also a story about what happens when we resist the narratives others write about us. Northwestern Hemisphere, 2529: an Earth on which half of people are now born literally invisible. Sweetmint, a young woman, is one of them and thus relegated to second-class citizenship. She has done everything right her entire life, from school to landing a highly sought-after apprenticeship. But all she has fought so hard to earn comes crashing down when she learns that her brother (whom she had presumed dead) is not only alive and well but also the primary suspect in a high-profile political murder.

Tudor es el hijo menor de dos sirvientes de la corte de un gran boyardo de la atrasada Valaquia. Desde su nacimiento, la ambición parece guiar cada uno de sus pasos, y en su arduo ascenso al poder no dudará en dejar su camino sembrado de cadáveres. En su historia se cruzan el rey Salomón, la reina de Saba, el bisabuelo de John Lennon, el general Napier y la reina Victoria. Tudor será Theodoros: bandido y pirata, pecador devoto, el terror de los mares de la Hélade. Vivirá en bosques y monasterios, presenciará batallas y milagros, y finalmente se convertirá en Tewodros: el despiadado Emperador de Emperadores, soberano absoluto de Abisinia. Theodoros constituye un ejercicio de pura libertad creativa en una narración torrencial, libérrima, exuberante, la culminación de una obra absolutamente épica. Un terremoto literario. Una novela arrolladora que abarca desde lo realista hasta lo fantasmagórico. Historias de amor y de aventuras, reales y fantásticas, voluptuosas y crueles. Cărtărescu entrelaza lo histórico, lo legendario y lo filosófico con pasajes prodigiosamente hermosos para crear un universo que abarca desde la Creación hasta nuestros días y que va incluso más lejos: hasta el Juicio Final.

The Young Man is Annie Ernaux’s account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some 30 years younger, when she was in her fifties. The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and at the same time leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time— together with a sense that she is living her life backwards. Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course, and menopause approaching. The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the “scandalous girl” she once was, but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing. It was first published in France in 2022.
