I Come From Foreign

Just saw this!

An enlightening interview in my favourite online magazine, Slate.com, with Junot Diaz about writing the Pulitzer Prize-winning book,The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Read it here.

I was kind of predispositioned to like this book–Caribbean family living in foreign, writer protagonist, teenage/ college tales of angst and longing–and I did. See my post on Oscar Wao and stereotypes here.

Update: I just realized this interview was actually from November 2007 and they just reposted since he won the Pulitzer last week. Just FYI.
