Beautiful essay, Junot. I echo another commenter: I could easily, gladly, and joyfully read a whole book of these.

This essay exemplifies so many of the reasons why I’ve loved your work for years. I could read a whole book of this easily, more than once.

Also, your mother comes alive unforgettably in the autofictional aspects of Yunior’s mother and it’s incredible to see a photo of her here.

Beautiful last line, as always.
