Since AV Club won't be able to allow grading for quite a while (could be as late as 2014), here's a thread for all the graders out there, if you want to reply to this with your grades and save them somewhere. Then all you'd have to do is edit your post every time you want to add a new entry.
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.
