    With his first collection of short stories, &ldquo;Drown,&rdquo; and his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, &ldquo;The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,&rdquo; Junot D&iacute;az won enthusiastic fans.

  12. Book of the Month: This is how you write it

    Short stories may be literary stepchildren, but Junot D&iacute;az has done his part to elevate the form to royal family status. His debut collection &quot;Drown" drew critical raves when it appeared 15 years ago. His stories were fresh and original and felt urgent. They commanded readers' attention. He had come to the U.S. &mdash; New Jersey, specifically &mdash; from the Dominican Republic as a child and created characters who spoke a form of nerdy Spanglish that represented real life.
