Junot Diaz reads in Central Park

This was so much fun. Junot Diaz read a bit from his novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. The best part though was when he read 2 separate pieces from unpublished works. A real treat. I asked him at the end of the program when the book would come out in Spanish and he assured everyone that it will be available on August 1st. I also wanted to know if it was true that Miramax bought the rights to his novel and he said that was true. The funniest part of the whole event was how they had a Q&A and this really professional lady (who talked a lot!) kept asking all these questions and Junot would curse and say "fuck" as if she was one of his homeboys. You gotta love that. Enjoy this video of Junot reading from his book.
