Junot Díaz best books, ranked

Junot Díaz — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1996 and 2012. They average 7.7, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note Dominican-American writer whose fiction moves between the Dominican Republic and New Jersey in a rush of street slang, Spanish, comics and footnotes. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about an overweight, sci-fi-loving Dominican boy, his family’s curse and the Trujillo dictatorship, is by far the most read but rates slightly lower than his story collections, Drown and This Is How You Lose Her, which follow his recurring narrator Yunior. His scores are close together.
