Junot Diaz's book This is How You Lose Her offers an interesting perspective on how men view women. Following many of the discussions on "rape culture," Junot Diaz's book This is How You Lose Her came to mind. While it is a lovely book that I very much enjoyed, I find it alarming that the author can create a character that treats women so incredibly terribly and yet, at the end of the book, the reader feels bad for him. His descriptions of Yunior trying to have sex with women that don't want to have sex with him are pretty disturbing. The thought he puts into these characters is incredible, but I'm wondering just how accurate he is about the way men view women.
This post was deleted for the following reason: The article is actually about a descriptive writer, tying it to "rape culture" is certain to doom any sort of discussion about that. -- mathowie
