Junot Díaz’s novel only won the most recent Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and I haven’t heard anyone say a bad word about it. I just got my copy of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and I can’t wait to read it! Do attend, it looks like a good time and it’s for a good cause! Press release follows:

Junot Díaz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Dominican-American author of
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, is coming to Washington Heights!
Junot will be joining CoSMO, Columbia’s free student-run primary care
clinic, for a book reading and conversation on Friday, November 7th at
