Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao published by Riverhead Books, won the National Book Critics Circle award for fiction. I feel it's well deserved. The book made me and lots of friends I know cry. When a book make you cry, it has to be good.

Staying on the island of Hispaniola, HaitianEdwidge Danticat's Brother, I'm Dying published by Knopf won for autobiography.
This startling simple book is chock full of the tragedy of history and current immigration policy against the Haitian community. I finished reading this about a month ago. It should be added to your library, ahora.
