For this article, I highly recommend there be more information about how Drown itself is a memoir-like series of short stories using personal details from Diaz's own life which add to its literary impact. One could cite the following quotation from a 2012 interview with Diaz: " I furnish Yunior with a lot of my stuff so I don't have to buy anything new and while friends of mine can see small elements of me in him, I've spun him a little sharper to stand out more starkly. I don't go to his extremes of cruelty and nor do I have his Byronesque sensibilities. There is a lot of scepticism today as to whether memoir is real. But when fiction is done at a certain level there is scepticism as to whether it is really fiction." source: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/aug/31/life-in-books-junot-diaz Kevin.dousa (talk) 20:59, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
The book cover shown on this page says "National Bestseller", but the caption identifies this cover as the "first edition cover" - which seems unlikely. --192.195.81.222 (talk) 18:25, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
