emannyc, have you read the book?
I just finished it. It was alive. He's got 'voice'. There wasn't one section that let go of my interest.

good grief- this guy is a joke - -throw a few spanish words in crappy stories and the liberal literary community get a hard on.
as one critic called him - to paraphrase-- the new yorkers contribution to affirmative action.
