Junot Diaz makes a stunning debut with 10 pieces that shift between the impoverished metropolitan districts of New Jersey and the barrios of the Dominican Republic. The tales in Diaz's unwavering and powerful work hum with an electrifying feeling of discovery. In the society that Diaz paints, moms battle valiantly for both themselves and their children, dads have passed away, and the following generation inherits the sardonic brutality, heartbreaking ambivalence, and sardonic humor of lives bounded by uncertainty and poverty. Diaz has masterfully combined the rhythms of delight and frustration, rage and release, in Drown.
