“Fictions of America: The Book of Firsts is absolutely essential; what a transformative reading experience. My first reaction upon finishing Fictions of America: The Book of Firsts: if only I had this extraordinary volume when I was younger. Second reaction: I am so grateful to have it now.”
—Junot Díaz, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
