Comment on Facebook
The Dominican-born American writer Junot Díaz will deliver the keynote address for the 2011 MCCC Annual Writers Conference. A winner of the Pulitzer Prize for his debut novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, Díaz has published in the New Yorker, the Paris Review, and The Best American Short Stories. One of the New Yorker's top 20 writers for the 21st century, Díaz writes fiction on the experiences of young immigrants in America, chronicling "their outwardly cool but inwardly anguished attempts to recreate themselves in the midst of eroding family structures and their own burgeoning sexuality," according to Publisher's Weekly. Díaz's keynote opens the two-day conference, with workshops and agent appointments for aspiring writers taking place on Saturday, November 5, 2011.
