The Seattle Public Library - Author Readings and Library Events
Junot Díaz reads from 'This Is How You Lose Her'
'This Is How You Lose Her,' is his first book since winning the Pulitzer Prize for 'The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.' -- Díaz's stories center on Yunior de las Casas, a Dominican-born, Jersey-raised writer and chronic womanizer. "Often caught between hopeless romanticism and flippant machismo, Díaz's characters are as vulnerable and maddening as they are endearing and sexy. ... Raw and honest, these stories pulsate with raspy ghetto hip-hop and the subtler yet more vital echo of the human heart." (Publishers Weekly) -- Junot Díaz is the author of 'Drown' and 'The Brief Wondrous Lif...

Junot Díaz, author of "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" and "This Is How You Lose Her"
The British writer LP Hartley opened his novel “The Go-Between” with an unforgettable line “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” There’s a long-standing idea of literature being a vehicle to explore these “foreign countries”, be they temporal or geographical or cultural. My guest today has been one of the most innovative voices with regard to the immigrant experience, especially through his 2007 novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao”. Junot Díaz is a Dominican-American writer who won the Pulitzer Prize for that novel, thanks to its incredibly modern story-telling. The prose was insane, wi...

Racisme kom for alvor på dagsordenen i 2020 gennem reaktualiseringen af Black Lives Matter-bevælgelsen. Den dominansk-amerikanske forfatter Junót Diaz besøgte i 2017 Den Sorte Diamant for at tale om USA (som alles øjne er rettet mod lige nu), kolonialisme, racisme og migration. Selv finder han det produktivt at forestille sig en verden både uden USA og mænd og uden nogen hvide mennesker!

At Home in Global America: Junot Diaz (Part II) - Open Source with Christopher Lydon
At Home in Global America: Junot Diaz (Part II) The most wondrously imagined characters in Junot Diaz’s new novel are its women: Oscar’s goth, “tougher than adamantine” sister Lola, and their mother Belicia. Mami is a shipwreck of female beauty, cancer-ridden and foul-spirited. But once she was astonishingly attractive and lusty, “allergic to tranquilidad,” and her parents were rich and connected. This, too, is history that Belicia barely grasps, that her children are never told about their dying battle-ax mom who berates them in Perth Amboy, N.J. As a 16 year old in the Dominican Republic, we learn in a long fl...

On stage, he was gracious, warm, conversational, and above all, sincere. A generous curser, he peppered his sentences with swears. When answering questions from the audience, he alternated, seamlessly, between a casual tone and a more professorial air, with lines like, “The praxis of reading is supported by this constant inquisition, this constant questioning: what does this mean?” He talked of reading, of race, and of language. And when one woman asked his thoughts on an article that stated that Oscar Wao would replace Catcher in the Rye as the seminal high school experience text, he dismissed it, laughing. “Jesus,” he said...
