Diaz Lunch and Lecture
I really enjoyed having Junot Diaz on our campus last week. He is an incredibly smart man with a lot of insight to many more topics than just writing and art. His story of immigration to the United States and how he and his family made it in America is very interesting. I could listen to the guy for hours. I can't believe that I did not have any idea who he was before this class. He provokes me to think in different ways and see things in new lights. I plan to buy his collection of short stories, "Drown", in the near future.

Drown is on my list to read as well - glad you got the chance to partake and that it was a memorable experience.
