The Morning Reading: Junot Diaz


Identity Theory features an interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Junot Diaz.

excerpt:

"But I do think that because we're sort of 'living in the Matrix,' we have this hunger for truth and fact because we know these things are important--and we’ve abdicated truth and fact in the larger society--so we’re just projecting our need for them onto other areas. I just think that fiction, like many other areas, is being asked to carry the burden for a society that no longer wants to confront itself."
