(NP) didn't somebody recently post on Junot Diaz?

I've read The Brief Life of Oscar Wao and highly recommend it. It has more of the feel of a collection of short stories than a novel, but it's a fantastic introduction to Dominican (Republic) history and culture.  And very funny, when it's not being tragic.
