As a fellow Dominican I identified very much with several of the characters in his stories.I grew up in D.C. but I spent a lot of time in New York and Jersey.Until I discovered Diaz's stories,I didn't really believe that my own experiences and the way I interpret the world were worth writing about.Thanks to him I realized that my own experiences and desires were worth writing.I've always wanted to be a writer and now I have a model of what I aspire to one day become.Thank you Junot Diaz.Maybe I'll have a chance to meet you someday.

Just finished Drown, picked it up at the library because it was thin. Loved it, wanting more from this author. It says on the second to last page - he is working on his next book. Not to hurry perfection, but that was 9 years ago. Any ideas when I might be able to consume it? This is why I prefer to read dead authors, you can whip through their collections without waiting for them to create.
