A review by kchiappone
Drown by Junot Díaz

3.0

I previously read The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. This is similar in voice. I enjoyed both, and I would be interested in reading Diaz's recent work, This is How You Lose Her, but I'm beginning to think from these two that he's sort of a one trick pony. The stories here are colorful and well written, but I'm not sure that, collectively, he's doing anything new with his writing or with his stories.
