Words Wednesday: Junot Diaz
Today’s Words Wednesday features Junot Diaz, the Dominican American author of three highly acclaimed works: Drown, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and This is How You Lose Her.
This quote comes from his most recent work, This is How You Lose Her.
The works of Junot Diaz center around young Dominican American men and their families, some of whom have immigrated to the United States and some of whom remain back home on the island. Incorporating Dominican history, English and Spanish slang, ghosts, and nerd-pop culture, Diaz’s works examine universal questions of identity, heritage and love with a uniquely fresh voice.
