<div>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</div>
<div>"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</div>
