Description   A relative newcomer to the American literary scene Junot Diaz has proven that he has what it takes to be in the company of the greatest American writers. 13 stories of life in the Dominican Republic and the United States, countries where Diaz' roots lie, Junot Diaz finds the perfect mixture of Dominican Barrios and New Jersey 'hoods so that his stories find the legitimate voice of the new immigrants. Diaz's book is unflinching and strong, and these stories crackle with an electric sense of discovery. Diaz evokes a world in which fathers are gone, mothers fight with grim determination for their families and themselves, and the next generation inherits the casual cruelty, devastating ambivalence, and knowing humor of lives circumscribed by poverty and uncertainty. In Drown, Diaz has harnessed the rhythms of anger and release, frustration and joy, to indelible effect.   Other Related Products...
