Author, Dominican, 'GhettoNerd'?
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz was on campus Monday and spoke very candidly to his audience about being a writer and a Dominican, and about the idiosyncrasies that stand in between. The passionate author sat down with scene to tell us a bit more about his roots, his acclaimed novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,” Haiti and even the advice he has for Yalies. For those who feel they are eavesdropping on the immigrant experience, Mr. Díaz himself will whisper every single detail into your ear.
