Junot Diaz, A writer with a lot of buzz


I love the New Yorker. I just do... especially its fiction section. And one of these days, The New Yorker introduced me to an amazing writer: Junot Diaz. He is the author of Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao which I am looking forward to reading.

I think to sum up his style, I would say call it a very genuine latin voice within the New York community. His portrayal of the dominican culture in New York is so touching and vivid and real. His characters are really unique and all reel you in. He has been listed as one of the top 20 writers in the 21st century.

His new book is in my list of books to read and wanted to share a wonderful writer with you...
