Editorial Reviews

Review

“En Díaz confluyen la fría mirada del periodista y el cálido aliento del poeta.... Un talento así no puede pasar desapercibido.”
Newsweek

“Junot Díaz es un ecritor de reciente aparición y gran valía. Sus personajes tienen vida propia fuera de la página, en el seno de nuestra tradición literaria y en el ámbito de nuestro corazón.”
—Walter Mosley


Product Description

"Desde que Díaz empezó a publicar historias cortas, en publicaciones tan prestigiosas como The New Yorker, ha sido señalado como un gran talento nuevo, y su debut con historias cortas, confirman ésta afirmación. Nació y creció en Santo Domingo, Díaz utiliza la comparación de su isla con la vida en Nueva York y Nueva Jersey, como el fulcro de sus mordaces historias." -Booklist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful fiction., May 19, 1999
By A Customer
The reader above has just given this book 3 stars on the basis of the fact that he/she mistakenly thought it was a different book. Hardly fair to the author. The back of Negocios clearly states that it is a translated work and the inner page states even more clearly that it was published in English under the title Drown. "Este libro fue publicado por primera vez en ingles, en forma encuadernada, baja el titulo Drown por Riverhead Books." That this reader would review a wonderful book on the basis of the reader's own error is most unfair. Drown/Negocios, published in English/Spanish, is a glorious collection of stories and I recommend it to all lovers of good fiction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Muy buen libro de cuentos, December 20, 2008
By Nehemoth "Nehemoth" (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Leyendo este libro me di cuenta de porque tan buenas criticas, lo lei despues de haber leido La maravillosa & breve vida de Oscar Wao, lo que puedo decir es que el potencial de Junot queda mas que plasmado en estas pequeñas historias.

Aunque hubiese sido mejor para mi una novela, o que los mismos cuentos fueran mas largos, sin dudas se disfrutan perfectamente.

Algo que realmente no me gusto, es el titulo, negocios es tan solo uno de los cuentos que se encuentran aquí y le da una percepción errada a quien ve la portada (si, se que los libros no se juzgan por la portada, pero algunas personas no pueden evitarlo), yo sin dudas hubiese escogido otro titulo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and very entertaining, November 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Read and enjoy. It might be a bit vulgar,especially if you understand Spanish. Otherwise the story is well written and I enjoyed how the characters were intertwined from beginning to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very realistic book
Even though it has some profanity and whatever this is one of the most realistic books I've ever read. Not only is interesting but Mr. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Drown in Spanish
From the cover and title I wasn't aware that this was "Drown", another interesting book by Junot Diaz, translated into Spanish.
