Drown by Junot Daz
From the beloved and award-winning author Junot D az, a spellbinding saga of a family's journey through the New World. A coming-of-age story of unparalleled power, Drown introduced the world to Junot D az's exhilarating talents. It also introduced an unforgettable narrator-- Yunior, the haunted, brilliant young man who tracks his family's precarious journey from the barrios of Santo Domingo to the tenements of industrial New Jersey, and their epic passage from hope to loss to something like love. Here is the soulful, unsparing book that made D az a literary sensation.The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and The Best American Short Stories have all published Junot Diaz's writing. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, his much anticipated debut novel, received rave reviews, with Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times describing it as a work that clearly confirms him as one of modern fiction's most distinctive and seductive new voices. Drown, his first story collection, was similarly hailed with unexpected acclaim when it was published eleven years before Oscar Wao; it became a national bestseller, won multiple accolades, and has now evolved into a landmark of contemporary writing. Diaz, who was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey, is a professor of creative writing at MIT and lives in New York City.
