21. "Haven't Read That But..."
In response to In response to 0

          

I have read "Drown" also by Junot Diaz. A wonderful expose on growing up poor in rural DR but also the trials and struggles faced by emigrating families from DR to the US.

One of my old instructors, Achy Obejas, has also been rumored to be translating The Brief and Wonderful Life...into Spanish.
