Arlington Library Welcomes Pulitzer Prize Winner Junot Díaz

Arlington County is welcoming Pulitzer Prize winning author Junot Díaz later this month.

Díaz, the author of “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,” which won the Puliter Prize for fiction in 2007, will discuss his work from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday at 1015 N. Quincy St., Arlington’s Central Library.

Oscar Wao features a Dominican “ghetto nerd” who tries to find love and the American experience, according to the publisher’s description.  

Admission for the event is free and is available a first-come, first-served basis. Books will be available for sale and signing at the conclusion.

The library system is hosting Díaz as part of Arlington Reads 2013 initiative to promote reading.
