Eldi-ablo3 karma

Hola again Junot,

Yunior from Drown deeply autobiographical. Is the Yunior from Oscar Wao the same one or is the name just a preference? Who is Rafa? You mentioned having sisters but no brothers so I'm curious

Thanks!

Thanks that's what I thought. It spoke to me how you were able to capture the duality of soul of somebody having to live in both worlds you know? The Latin American that almost feels like going back in time vs the urban American one... I'm not from Dominican so it's cool that it still speaks to other nationalities

Hi Junot, firstly I wanted to thank you for your work. Being a Latino immigrant myself I identify with your stories and the way you go about relating them. I wanted to take you back to Drown, the first book I got from you nearly 15 years ago, are any if those stories autobiographical in any way? Who are you on those stories?

And lastly what books are you reading these days?

Thanks!
