I got turned on to him during a writing class: one of his short stories was one of our first assignments-- from the perspective of a little boy going to his aunt/uncle's (?). brilliant. just raw and gritty and encapsulating of a whole world in a few pages, and so perfectly written. Not sure I could ride with a whole book in his style, but you've <I>got</I> to check out the following link:<BR/><BR/>http://www.newyorker.com/online/2007/06/11/070611on_audio_danticat<BR/><BR/>It's Junot reading his short, “How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie)”, with Edwige Danticat commenting. Veeery funny... I think I laughed more at some of Deborah Treisman's Q&A with Danticat, like Junot's reference to white girls as easy and Danticat kind of dances away without answering! Hilarious. : DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305932261379145681.post-34178086396324739462008-05-24T16:58:00.000-07:002008-05-24T16:58:00.000-07:00lolhe is my fav author. check out my review on his...lol<BR/>he is my fav author. <BR/><BR/>check out my review on his latest: <BR/><BR/>http://selfra.blogspot.com/2008/04/brief-wondrous-life-of-oscar-wao-by.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205384167481897308noreply@blogger.com
