Junot Diaz on Slate TV
Jul 18th, 2008 by Nut
One of my favorite books this year (and probably all time) was The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. It’s a fantastic novel that really did deserve the Pulitzer Prize — I’ve been recommending it to everyone I talk to. So, being someone that loves to talk (and write) about writing and all its processes, here is a neat video I found over on Slate TV of Diaz discussing the book, how long it took him to write it, and some other little details that are pretty interesting.
If you haven’t read it yet, please make sure you do. Otherwise you’re missing on a great story by a great writer who isn’t afraid to tell it like he sees it (even if that means sprinkling a lot of spanish into the book).
