Tomorrow's NY Times reviews in the Book Section book by Junot Diaz.
Sounds fabulous! Could someone post/tell me how to post the link ? Sample quote " What's more sci-fi than Santo Domingo"?
Thought you would enjoy.

Sorry about that. Was out of touch-down south on biz and thought I was a ahead of the curve.

The film rights to the book have been purchased by Miramax, and producer Scott Rudin. Should make a great movie, if done right.

I would love to watch the movie....I think for it to work the writer will have to be heavily involved in the project. I have seen films that were great books but when they go the "big" screen they get lost in translation. Hopefully that will not be the case here. Much success to Junot.
