Drown by Junot Díaz

3.0

Drown offers a personal, almost auto-biographical picture of the struggles faced by Dominican-American immigrants. The story follows the main character, Yunior, and branches off at different points to follow the narratives of his family members. Major themes: family, the American dream, sexuality. Yunior is learning what it looks like to be a man from his father Ramon and his brother Rafa, but the reader quickly sees the shortcomings and the way their mistakes affect Yunior. A good read - really interesting and captivating narration.
