A great short story written as dating instructions for a Dominican teenager living in urban New Jersey, read by the Pulitzer Prize winning author himself, who is now most famous for his 2007 novel 'The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.'
'How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie)" was first published in a December 25, 1995 issue of The New Yorker. It would later appear in Diaz's first book, the critically acclaimed short story collection 'Drown' (1996).
