Drown by Junot Diaz

I enjoyed The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and the audiobook was combined with Diaz's short story collection--like, it literally began as soon as the novel was finished. So I figured I would just keep listening and read his short story collection. It had a really similar feel to the novel, but felt a little more depressing and hopeless. Every story was sad and heart-wrenching in some way. I thought it was kind of more of the same as Oscar Wao, but I didn't enjoy it as much. I hate the way all of the women are viewed and treated throughout both books.
