Review of the book From the review: Yunior’s language often reduces women to disposable objects of desire. Demeaning terms—“pussy,” “bitches,” “sluts,”—infest the habitual patterns of his speech. Yunior inherits his hateful view of women from his father, brother and the world of men they inhabit, but he also understands that becoming such a man means power over women and over each other can only be upheld through violence and hatred. In this way, he betrays not only the women he loves, but himself. And in “The Cheater’s Guide To Love,” the final story in this collection, the betrayal will ultimately cost him his health, his sanity and even his will to live.

This post was deleted for the following reason: Heya, the formatting here is kind of oblique: there's no mention of the title of the book, it's a book review out of context, and it's not really clear why specific this review and this pull-quote is postworthy. -- cortex
