| Publisher Description: Dominican American author and Pulitzer Prize-winner Junot D az has gained international fame for his blended, cross-cultural fiction. Reading Junot D 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 D az's writings. Christopher Gonz lez 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. Gonz lez provides a synthesis of the prevailing critical studies of D az and offers many new insights into his work. |
