520 $a"Dominican American author and Pulitzer Prize-winner Junot Di az has gained international fame for his blended, cross-cultural fiction. Reading Junot Di az is the first study to focus on his complete body of published works. It explores the totality of his work and provides a concise view of the interconnected and multilayered narrative that weaves throughout Di az's writings. Christopher Gonzalez analyzes both the formal and thematic features and discusses the work in the context of speculative and global fiction as well as Caribbean and Latino/a culture and language. Topics such as race, masculinity, migration, and Afro-Latinidad are examined in depth. Gonzalez provides a synthesis of the prevailing critical studies of Di az and offers many new insights into his work"--$cProvided by publisher.
