junot diaz's drown
this is sort of a book of short stories, and sort of a novel told in a collection of short stories--definitely the narrator/characters are the same for most of it, but it's not really clear if the other stories are the same narrator or someone else entirely. either way, they're very powerful, revolving around a young boy whose family emigrates from the dominican republic to new york. i keep seeing diaz mentioned on various book blogs, so maybe he has something else coming out soon . . . i certainly hope so.
on another note, i'm watching the antm clips show special right now, and dang! i cannot watch those girls in those crazy platform stilettos again! i had to run out of the room and write about this book instead.
