2018年5月4日 · Look at the title of this thread "Junot Diaz Accused of #MeToo Misconduct"- don't you find that a bit vague? The accusation should be clear- accused of forcibly kissing a woman, etc. The proof against him, besides the accusation, also seems to be he has been rude to women and writes sexist characters in his fictional books.

2018年11月18日 · Junot Diaz is not among those I’ve met and been turned off by (that is, to say, I haven’t met him), but I’ve had the good fortune—if you can even call it that—of meeting literary icons and immediately thinking, “I’ll never read another word they publish.”

2022年11月29日 · The Diaz allegations are notable not just because they are unproven (that is the case for quite a few MeToo'd men), but because they are weak. Indeed, one (the Machado allegation, which is mentioned in the piece) was definitively shown to be false via a recording of the incident, though bizarrely that doesn't seem to be widely recognized, and ...

Hi Junot, I literally just finished Oscar Wao this week, and have been shouting its praises from rooftops to all who will listen. It has more than earned its place on my "desert island top 10" list. It has more than earned its place on my "desert island top 10" list.

2022年10月5日 · Junot Diaz's personal issues (that others have pointed out) aside, I think this essay is unhelpfully melodramatic. In broad strokes, you could say that he's right that the average man has less exposure to women's perspectives than the average woman has to men's and that, as a result, the average woman is going to write male characters better ...

2018年5月10日 · The allegations against Junot Díaz are just the tip of the iceberg. ... le-retira-reconocimiento-a-junot ...

2023年11月13日 · Junot Diaz was a visiting professor when I was in college, and everyone pronounced his name JOO-note. Now this threat has me second guessing myself lol Reply reply

2018年6月26日 · Instead, Machado has dug in her heels (albeit conceding that she is “not a victim of Junot Díaz” but merely “a female writer who had a weird interaction with him”). In a new tweetstorm on June 6, she complained about being “gaslit” by people who said the audio did not verify her account, and suggested that those who think so ...

This whole thing really sucks. I loved Junot Diaz. Loved all his writing. But I always thought the misogyny in his writing was coming from the characters, part of the ‘point’ of the books.. and then it turns out actually no, that’s the author showing his true colours. I feel like such a fool for assuming he was better than that.
