  1. I must admit that when I first began reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, I was annoyed out how different the flow and structure of the book was. The unfamiliar construction of the book made me uncomfortable and made me question my ability to comprehend...The footnotes, the flow of the words, the pace....but after a while, I found myself so intrigued with the uniqueness of the book and by the time I was done reading the book I was like : man, now this is what I call a work of art. This art taught me, challenged me, frustrated me, it made me reflect and deflect, it made me relate and not want to relate...etc etc etc. Many thanks to Junot Diaz for sharing his talent and art...

    It was very interesting to read about how you experienced Pakistan pop such as Vital Signs from Pakistan/UK. Though there were some similarities (i.e. the wow factor that Pakistani boys can be "cool"), there are some differences in the way myself, a Pakistani-American, experienced and was impacted by Pakistani-pop. Thank you for sharing. It was insightful and refreshing...

    Again, your writing gives me a plethora of emotions and thoughts to sort through.
