![]() ![]() I’d picked up Drown at the American Library and couldn’t put it down. But I am happy to say have been proved wrong. No, I wasn’t there but I follow lit fests like football fans follow football. You know the ones who appear at literary festivals because they are either good looking or have good connections. Before reading him, I thought Díaz was a festival circuit author having noticed him appear at the Jaipur Lit fest a few times and several other festivals. I know I haven’t posted an entry in sometime and while I’ve been reading, I’ve not been shaken up in a long time. Drown is his collection of short stories – a bit of a debate on that one but that’s what the library filed it under and I’m going to call it so for the time being. I intend to read This Is How You Lose Her now. ![]() ![]() I’d like to kick myself for taking this long to read both Drown (which I didn’t know existed) and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (which I did). I have fallen head over heels in love with the searing writing of Junot Díaz. Proceed no further if you want to be surprised when reading either of these two books. Disclaimer: A few plot details have been discussed here. ![]()
