I’ll never forget when I read Drown by Junot Díaz. I was a young person from rural Colorado, living in SF and meeting people who spoke English with an accent for the first time. I was completely unworldly and out of my league and yet probably totally different from Boryga. It didn’t come from my world, yet Drown impacted me profoundly. It was beautiful and heartbreaking and empowering all at the same time. It helped place me. Such is the magnificence of Junot Díaz. I love that this interview brought up that memory. Really wonderful interview.
Thank you, sir Anthony! Welcome to the early morning writing club.
