This was based on a Dominican professor who resides in Boston finds himself in a state of deep depression after his financee leaves him upon discovering his disloyalty.

This story was written from a second person perspective that targets the main character Yunior. In addition, the second person’s point of view helps to make it work well for this case which brings about the feeling of a first person. This was basically based more on a sense of shame that later made the story much more powerful. although Yunior who was the main character was a false hearted guy, I still felt a certain sympathy for him only because he was fully aware of his untrustworthy behavior yet he was critical about it and was helpless when attempting to correct it. Later on he was searching through his Doomsday book and old emails he sent to his women.

The most interesting part about this is the plot that involved the issue of the false paternity, that occured with the law student who tricked him into believing that he was the father of her child only to reveal the truth to him in the delivery room, where she kicked him out. This is prevented him from enjoying physical activity adds to the sympathy we had for him.

The storytelling and his language was very strong. although it was difficult for me I basically managed with no knowledge of spanish. But this story in my words was the most interesting story i’ve ever read.
