Junot Díaz
Junot Díaz (; born December 31, 1968) is a Dominican-American writer, creative writing professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a former fiction editor at ''Boston Review''. He also serves on the board of advisers for Freedom University, a volunteer organization in Georgia that provides post-secondary instruction to undocumented immigrants.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Rutgers University, and shortly after graduating created the character "Yunior", who served as narrator of several of his later books. After obtaining his MFA from Cornell University, Díaz published his first book, the 1995 short story collection ''Drown''.
Diaz received the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his novel ''The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao'', and received a MacArthur Fellowship "Genius Grant" in 2012. Provided by Wikipedia
