here it is...Here It Is...HERE IT IS....!!! Junot Díaz's debut novel


We waited, we tarried, we prayed...yes, yes, Lord, here it is...OK tomorrow, 6 September 2007 here it will be... but still!

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Getting rave reviews thus far, a lotta "it was worth the ten-year wait" sentiment. Good on you, Díaz, go on then!


Here's an interview, "Junot Díaz out of the Silence," from the Powell's Books site. Lucky Portlanders will get to hear Díaz read and talk at Powell's Books on 25 September.

It was on the shelf (next to _Drown_ and not on the "new" table?) at the Johns Hopkins Barnes & Noble tonight....Very happy to see another entry in the 'ghetto nerd' cannon:)

I've been hearing very positive reviews from the advance copy readers. Really looking forward to getting my own.
