Junot Díaz and Jamaica Kincaid read from their novels at the 92nd Street Y on Jan 26, 2009. Junot leads off the reading with a humorous and sometimes cringe worthy story about a couple’s fractious trip to Santo Domingo. Kincaid begins at the 2:52 mark, reading a personal excerpt from a book about her brother, who is no longer with us.
Kincaid will be here again on Feb 1 for The Immigrant Experience: Becoming Americans with Jamaica Kincaid, Norman Manea and others.
