The influence of Latin American writers-as well as other immigrant
writers and their first-generation peers-has reframed the literary
lens to include multiple views and codify the shift away from the
tradition of white male writers who formed the core of the American
literary canon for generations. Junot Diaz is one of the most
prominent and influential writers in contemporary American
literature. A first-generation Dominican American, the New Jersey
native is at the forefront of a literary renaissance, portraying
the significant demographic shifts taking place in the United
States. In The Fiction of Junot Diaz: Reframing the Lens, Heather
Ostman closely examines the linguistic, popular culture, and
literary references woven throughout Diaz's fiction, including the
short story collections Drown and This Is How You Lose Her, as well
as the Pulitzer prize-winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of
Oscar Wao. Ostman also considers Diaz's work as it relates to
issues of identity, citizenship, culture, aesthetics, language,
class, gender, and race. By exploring how Diaz reframes the
immigrant narrative-highlighting his innovative linguistic and
genre-based approach-Ostman provides crucial insights into how
Diaz's writings relate to key issues in today's world. The Fiction
of Junot Diaz will be of interest to scholars and students of the
immigrant experience as well as fans of this gifted writer.
