This edition of Fresh Air features novelist Junot Diaz discussing his acclaimed book, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which explores family and political themes in the Dominican Republic and the U.S. through a lively, slang-infused narrative. Critic John Powers reflects on the 1967 March on the Pentagon and its influence on anti-war activism, while Milo Miles reviews an anthology exploring the psychedelic rock style of Peruvian Cumbia. The program offers insights into contemporary fiction, historical protest, and global music.
