After reading "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" and absolutely loving it, I had to check out Junot Diaz's other books. This book features 10 short stories about living in the Dominican Republic. I didn't like it as much as "Oscar", I still really enjoy Diaz's story telling. He really pulls you into characters and it's always interesting to me to read about other types of lifestyles. Again, he mixes his stories with English and Spanish and I love it. As dark as some of the stories are, the way he describes the DR really makes me want to visit it someday. It seems like a very interesting place. I really enjoyed these stories and Diaz is definitely up there on my favorite authors list. Check out any of his stuff.
