This is How You Lose Her-Junot Diaz: A Hey, I just read that in my American Lit class earlier in the semester. I don't know how I feel about it, because its misogyny seems only somewhat justified half the time. Especially since the stories started to feel monotonous after awhile. Then again, I barely read literature, so i also don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

That Yunior character is a recurring character in all his works who serves as a mirror for Dominican men. I think Diaz uses it to grapple with his dual identity as a Dominican-American who went to an Ivy League school. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao features prominent female characters. I read This is How You Lose her as a critique of machismo, which he goes more into in his other works.
