_Martin Schneider writes:_
Junot Díaz’s novel only won the most recent Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and I haven’t heard anyone say a bad word about it. I just got my copy of _The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,_ and I can’t wait to read it! Do attend, it looks like a good time and it’s for a good cause! Press release follows:
Junot Díaz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Dominican-American author of
_The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,_ is coming to Washington Heights!
Junot will be joining CoSMO, Columbia’s free student-run primary care
clinic, for a book reading and conversation on Friday, November 7th at
7:30pm. All proceeds go toward prescription medications for CoSMO’s
uninsured patients (“www.cosmoprimarycare.org”:www.cosmoprimarycare.org).
The night will also include free appetizers provided by Mamajuana
restaurant, old school hip-hop sounds by DJ Strike (former tour DJ of
De La Soul), and visual arts by the Sound of Art collective
