Page 282, Oscar is talking to a woman named Ybón who has a tendency to be quickly forgotten, to quickly lose the attention of men she's with, something that she is thankful for. But, Yunior writes, "Her Jedi mind tricks did not work on Oscar."
You know who else is immune to Jedi mind tricks? Jabba the Hutt. And Yunior's asshole friend Melvin started comparing Oscar to Jabba back in their college days (177). Make of that what you will.
Super cool (if nerdy) connection! I never would have picked that up! I guess that just shows Diaz's commitment to his style of writing.
