Junot Diaz

IRRESISTIBLE NEW VOICE
“Hip, irreverent, funny, and above all, fiercely intelligent.” The New Yorker named Junot Diaz to its list of 20 top writers for the 21st century. In addition to the 2008 Pulitzer, his long-awaited first novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, received the National Book Critics Circle Award. Oscar Wao is “so original it can only be described as Mario Vargas Llosa meets Star Trek meets David Foster Wallace meets Kanye West.” Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey, Diaz now lives in New York City.
