I was listening to NPR on the way to the grocery store this afternoon, and heard just a snippet of a fascinating City Arts and Lectures discussion with Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Among other things, he talks about the eleven-year path from his first book, the story collection Drown, to this Pulitzer-prize winning first novel, and the pages and pages of material he threw out along the way. The show airs again Tuesday night at 8:00. – Meg
