Book signing and reception following the reading
Celebrated as "one of contemporary fiction's most distinctive and
irresistible new voices" in the New York Times and "one of the 20
best authors of this century in The New Yorker," Juno Diaz writes
"in a combustible mix of slang and lyricism...loops back and forth in
time and place, generating sly and lascivious humor in counterpoint
to tyranny and sorrow... Propelled by compassion, Diaz's novel is
intrepid and radiant." Walter Mosley
Co-sponsored by the Baldwin Scholars Program and School of
Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Studies at Hampshire College.
