A third comics-related event tomorrow! Diaz was influenced by American comic books in his novel. This is at Politics and Prose. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make any of the three.
Wednesday, September 10, 7 p.m.
JUNOT DÍAZ
THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO (Riverhead, $14)
Díaz uses a mixture of Spanish and English to express the melting and melding that occurs when immigrants from the Dominican Republic meet New Jersey, USA. This splendid young Dominican-American writer has scored a home run with his zany, sweet, perceptive novel now appearing in paperback.

Anybody go to this? I ordered the book and the recording of the session, but how about a report?
