See Junot Diaz Live!

This post is NOT for Fall 2009 students!

One of the texts for the course this spring is Junot Diaz's novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Last semester we had the opportunity to see Junot speak/read from the novel in the East Village.

This Spring we can see him in Harlem! He is very funny and if you are really into the novel, you will not want to miss the opportunity to see him in person. The date (March 19) is during Spring Break.
