Fiction
With ten stories that move from the barrios of the Dominican
Republic to the struggling urban communities of New Jersey,
Junot Diaz makes his remarkable debut. In "Ysrael", two
brothers hunt a disfigured boy who hides behind a mask; in
"No Face", the mirror is flipped and perspective belongs to
the tormented. In "Fiesta, 1980", a spirited family
gathering plays against the noiseless hum of a father's
infidelities. In "Boyfriend", a young man eavesdrops on the
woman next door and colors in the life overheard with the
drama born of intense longing. And always, it seems there is
the throb of waiting: in "Aguantando", for the fulfillment
of a promise; in "Negocios", for rescue; in "Aurora", for
respite; in "Drown", for resolution.
