Host Sarah Posner examines Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's escalating campaign to remake the Pentagon in the image of a militant, hyper-masculine Christian nationalism—from dismantling small-business contracting as “DEI,” to purging diversity programs, hosting monthly Christian prayer meetings inside the Pentagon, and framing U.S. military power as divinely sanctioned. As Trump rattles the global order with threats against NATO allies and Greenland, Posner traces how Hegseth's theology and politics blur the lines among biblical law, domestic authority, and international norms—raising urgent questions about religion, war, and state power. Posner is joined by Dr. Julie Ingersoll, professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Florida and author of Building God's Kingdom, for a deep dive into the radical Christian Reconstructionist movement shaping Hegseth's worldview. They unpack the influence of Doug Wilson and the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, including beliefs about biblical law, patriarchy, Christian dominion, and a “God of war” theology that legitimizes violence and conquest. The conversation explores how once-fringe theocratic ideas have quietly moved into the corridors of power—and what it means when U.S. military leaders see themselves as carrying out God's will, at home and abroad. Julie Ingersoll is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, where she teaches and writes about religion in American culture, with a particular focus on religion and politics and the religious right. Originally from Maine, she earned a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of California, Santa Barbara, along with degrees in history from George Washington University and political science from Rutgers College. She began studying religion as an undergraduate because of her interest in politics, which she saw as deeply intertwined with religious life—an understanding that only deepened as her studies continued.

When You Come at the King: Inside DOJ's Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump by Elie Honig https://www.amazon.com/When-You-Come-King-President/dp/0063447363 "[A] deeply researched, keenly analytical, and frequently provocative chronicle of this singular judicial entity. . . . A senior legal analyst for CNN and former assistant U.S. attorney, Honig is well-suited to the task of providing a historical overview of the special counsel's function with the ever-evolving context of politics, partisanship and political skepticism." —Booklist (STARRED review) "A fascinating, fast-paced insider's account....[a] riveting, deeply reported book.” —Anderson Cooper “Every page hums with gripping anecdotes and breaking news journalism." —Douglas Brinkley Imagine you've been put in charge of investigating your own boss—who also happens to be the most powerful person on the planet. You might unearth information that will be politically, professionally, and personally devastating to your subject, and you alone hold the power to indict and potentially imprison him. At the same time, the boss can fire you and end the case—and might even turn the tables and launch an inquiry aimed at you. As the lone-wolf assassin Omar put it in The Wire: “You come at the king, you best not miss.” That's the crucible for any Special Counsel. For decades, the Department of Justice has appointed outside prosecutors to handle our highest-stakes cases. But do these independent investigations lead to just results? In When You Come at the King, CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig delivers a fast-paced, insider's account of the most important Justice Department investigations of the past fifty years, based on dozens of on-record interviews with firsthand participants. A Watergate prosecutor reveals she hid copies of key documents at home to guard against potential destruction of evidence by the president's allies. A member of the Iran–Contra prosecution team explains why they made a shocking election-eve revelation. A defense lawyer for Donald Trump details his private meeting with Jack Smith just days before Trump was indicted. From Ken Starr's investigation of Bill Clinton to modern cases involving Patrick Fitzgerald, Robert Mueller, Jack Smith, and more, Honig charts how the Special Counsel system developed and evolved over time. We know the maxim that a nation can be measured by how it treats its weakest members. This book explores an inverse corollary: A nation reveals much about itself by how it holds accountable its most powerful leaders when they've done wrong. Now, with the future of Special Counsels in doubt, When You Come at the King addresses the most important question of all: Can the system evolve to better serve the call for justice?About the author Elie Honig is CNN's Senior Legal Analyst. He previously worked for 14 years as a federal and state prosecutor. Honig provides on-air commentary and analysis for CNN on news relating to the U. S. Department of Justice, major criminal trials, the Supreme Court, Congressional and grand jury investigations, national security, policing, and other legal issues. In 2022, Honig was nominated for an Emmy Award by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in the category "Outstanding News Analysis: Editorial & Opinion."

In this powerful episode, Brian Buffini sits down with Lauren Sisler, Emmy award–winning sports broadcaster, author, and keynote speaker, to discuss her inspiring new book, Shatterproof. At just 18 years old, Lauren, who was attending Rutgers College on a gymnastics scholarship, was dealt a devastating double blow — her parents died within five hours of each other, both to opioid overdoses. In this broadcast, Lauren shares how her faith in God, her background as an elite athlete and guidance from her aunt, helped her through grief, shame and denial and ultimately, to forgiveness, freedom and purpose. Now, as an in-demand keynote speaker, she shares her story, helping others facing their own challenges so that they too might find peace. You'll be inspired to “jump scared,” push past discomfort, and create your own personal legacy. YOU WILL LEARN: How leaning into adversity and discomfort can help strengthen you and give you permission to heal. Why owning your story is key to breaking free from shame. How to find purpose and identity no matter the circumstances beyond your control. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Shatterproof by Lauren Sisler NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “The greatest stories that I've witnessed aren't the championship moments, the game winning drives, the buzzer beaters, the walk off home runs. It's the stories that happen in the calm and the quiet when the stadium lights are off and nobody is watching. — Lauren Sisler “You've got to be willing to have the tough conversations with people, even though they can be extremely difficult, they can be sticky, they can be hard.” — Lauren Sisler “Adversity can be the very thing that strengthens you and gives you permission to heal.” — Lauren Sisler “God does not promise to deliver us from hardships, He promises to deliver us through hardships.” — Lauren Sisler “You can run so hard and so fast towards that next thing that you forget to be where your feet are,” — Lauren Sisler Hosted on Acast.

My name is Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez and I was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where I was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship. I am also an “Experiencer” of the paranormal Contact Modalities.This is a book about my personal experiences via the Contact Modalities, titled A Greater Reality: One Man's Journey of Discovery. This book discusses many of my personal experiences that I have kept hidden for many years because of fear that I would lose my law license and any academic credibility that I might have accumulated over many years of academic research. The book not only discusses the details of some of my most important bizarre experiences via the Contact Modalities, it also presents various theoretical hypotheses about the “Contact Phenomenon”, based upon my personal experiences, such as:1) that all of the Contact Modalities, including UFOs, have the ability to manipulate Space-Time;2) that the perceived physical beings we are experiencing, via NDEs, OBEs, UFO contact experiences, etc., and the telepathic communications we are receiving, are all “Holographic Projections” from an external non-physical source;3) that the intelligence behind the UFO contact phenomenon can “control” your conscious thoughts and even to “project” mental images and thoughts into your “Mind”;4) and many other hypotheses on the relationship between Consciousness and the Contact Modalities.I am currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, an academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of “paranormal experiences”, what CCRI calls “The Contact Modalities, a term I coined in 2013. The term “Contact Modalities” is defined as “all of the diverse ways that humans are ‘piercing the veil' of our physical reality and having perceived contact with consciousness-based Higher Forms of Intelligence”, also called “Non-Human Intelligence”. Examples of the Contact Modalities are as follows: Near-Death Experiences (NDEs), Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), Astral Travel Experiences (ATE), (which are very different from OBEs), Conscious Aerial Phenomena (CAP-UFOs), (commonly called UFOs or UAPs), contact experiences with perceived deceased humans (commonly called Ghosts or Spirits), contact experiences via Hallucinogenic Journeys (via entheogens such as DMT, Psilocybin, LSD, etc.), contact experiences via Remote Viewing or other forms of clairvoyance, contact experiences via Channeling or Mediumship, contact via the many forms of Post Death Communications, contact experiences via Lucid Dreams, contact via perceived Poltergeists experiences or spiritual attachments, and many other types of “paranormal” contact experiences with tens of thousands of diverse forms of Non-Human Intelligence, whether they be perceived as physical or non-physical.I, and a professional documentary team that has produced 10 Star Trek documentaries with William Shatner, have recorded hundreds of commercials, rock concerts, TV commercials, Super Bowl events, and other events, and have been working on a 2-hour documentary over the last 6 years.

We highlight the life of African-American actor, singer, and activist Paul Robeson, was one of the driving forces in the civil rights movement starting in the early 20th century. Educated at Rutgers College and Columbia University, Robeson was a star football player, was named an All-American twice, and was inducted into the College football Hall of Fame. He graduated with a law degree while playing in the NFL for the Akron Ohio Pros.

Robeson was also a movie star appearing in 15 films, the first was in 1925. Using his skills as an attorney, Robeson was an international advocate for human rights, fighting racial discrimination world wide. Due to his activism, conservative politicians branded Robeson as a dangerous radical. You will hear Paul Robeson perform on NBC's Rudy Vallee Show in 1933 during the height of his popularity.

Hatchet Man: How Bill Barr Broke the Prosecutor's Code and Corrupted the Justice Department by Elie Honig “Elie Honig has written much more than a compelling takedown of an unfit attorney general; he also offers a blueprint for how impartial and apolitical justice should be administered in America.”—Preet Bharara “An essential analysis for anyone committed to understanding the abuses of the Trump administration so we can ensure they never happen again.”—Joyce White Vance “Essential reading for all who cherish the rule of law in America.”—George Conway "Written with all the color and pacing of a legal thriller."—Variety CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig exposes William Barr as the most corrupt attorney general in modern U.S. history, with stunning new scandals bubbling to the surface even after Barr's departure from office. In Hatchet Man, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig uncovers Barr's unprecedented abuse of power as Attorney General and the lasting structural damage done to the Justice Department. Honig uses his own experience as a prosecutor at DOJ to show how, as America's top law enforcement official, Barr repeatedly violated the Department's written rules, and those vital, unwritten norms and principles that comprise the “prosecutor's code.” Barr was corrupt from the beginning. His first act as AG was to distort the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, earning a public rebuke for his dishonesty from Mueller himself and, later, from a federal judge. Then, Barr tried to manipulate the law to squash a whistleblower's complaint about Trump's dealings with Ukraine—the report that eventually led to Trump's first impeachment. Barr later intervened in an unprecedented manner to undermine his own DOJ prosecutors on the cases of Michael Flynn and Roger Stone, both political allies of the President. And then Barr fired the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York under false pretenses. Finally, Barr amplified baseless theories about massive mail-in ballot fraud, pouring gasoline on the dumpster fire battle over the 2020 election results and contributing to the January 6 insurrection that led to Trump's second impeachment. In Hatchet Man, Honig proves that Barr trampled the two core virtues that have long defined the department and its mission: credibility and independence – ultimately in service of his own deeply-rooted, extremist legal and personal beliefs. Honig shows how Barr corrupted the Justice Department and explains what we must do to prevent this from ever happening again.

Patrick Morrisey, WV Attorney General, joins Liberty & Justice Season 2, Episode 19. Learn more about AG Morrisey's work at https://patrickmorrisey.com Watch every episode of Liberty & Justice at www.whitaker.tv.Since being elected West Virginia's Attorney General in 2012, Patrick Morrisey has secured countless wins for the Mountain State and our West Virginia conservative values. He is nationally recognized as a leader in the fight against federal overreach.Morrisey has been the public face of some of the nation's most significant legal victories in recent years. He spearheaded America's largest win against the deep administrative state in decades (WV v. EPA), a pivotal case for our state because it helps protect energy jobs and limits the ability of federal agencies to issue regulations without clear statements from Congress. He was a leading advocate of bringing constitutional carry to West Virginia citizens, led the effort to successfully defend the state's school choice laws (one of the broadest in the country), and set up the first-ever Disability Fraud Unit in the state over Republican and Democratic opposition. He's the first pro-life Attorney General in West Virginia history, and defends our states' pro-life laws in Court without reservation.With his unmatched experience and incredible success, Patrick Morrisey is now the leading Republican candidate for Governor of West Virginia. He is the only proven conservative who has taken on many of the biggest challenges facing West Virginians, and won. Patrick is running for Governor to put more money in the pockets of hardworking West Virginians, to advance educational excellence, supercharge economic and workforce growth, and protect families from the ravages of drugs and the woke, anti-freedom, socialist threats facing us today.Under Morrisey's leadership, West Virginia has aggressively attacked the opioid epidemic. He's won numerous settlements against drug companies, bringing in a record-breaking amount of funds (over $1 billion with the counties and cities, and securing the highest per capita settlements in the nation) to be used to fight this epidemic. He has established a comprehensive agreement and plan for the state and all of its political subdivisions to address the drug and fentanyl problems holistically. Morrisey's landmark agreement was widely praised, earning public votes of support from all 55 West Virginia counties and 34-0 and 94-0 votes in the state Senate and House.Morrisey's conservative values stem from his upbringing, instilled in him from his father, a World War II veteran and account manager for steel companies, and his mother, a VA registered nurse. The Attorney General put himself through college and law school by working multiple jobs and balancing his academic, athletic, and economic pursuits. His strength of character, hard work ethic, and perseverance were further strengthened after law school when he nearly endured bankruptcy. He waited tables, picked up odd jobs, practiced law, and put in very long hours to make ends meet.A Rutgers College and Rutgers School of Law graduate, Morrisey has had a multi-faceted career in law and public service, including roles as a former Partner and Practice Chair at a major national law firm, a former Chairman of the Republican Attorney Generals Association, a former Chief Counsel to the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, an owner of his own law practice, and former professional Tennis Umpire (worked through the finals of the U.S. Open). Patrick is married to his wife, Denise, and they have one daughter, Julia. He moved to Harpers Ferry in 2006, after many years of visiting the state and taking in its beauty. Matthew G. Whitaker was acting Attorney General of the United States (2018-2019). Prior to becoming acting Attorney G

#153 Rey Hernandez UFOs The Science Of Contact With No Human IntelligenceReinerio (Rey) Hernandez graduated with honors from Rutgers College, was a Master's Candidate at Cornell University and was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where he was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship. He previously was a professor for six years at the New School for Social Research and at the City University of New York. Previous to March 2012, Rey had zero interest in the topic of Consciousness or any of the so-called paranormal Contact Modalities. On March 4, 2012, Rey and his wife witnessed a miraculous medical healing of their paralyzed dog, whom they were going to euthanize that same day, by an Energy Being that appeared in their living room. After this initial experience, over the next 3 years, Rey began to have diverse paranormal contact experiences via what he coined “The Contact Modalities” (NDEs, OBEs, UFOs, Ghosts/Spirits, Remote Viewing, Channeling, etc.) Rey Hernandez is currently the Director of the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute, or CCRI, a 501c3 academic research institute comprised of more than 25 Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers whose mission is to explore a new paradigm that seeks to integrate the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of extraordinary experiences, what the CCRI calls the Contact Modalities, a term that he coined in 2013. Rey was previously one of the 4 co-founders of The Dr. Edgar Mitchell FREE Foundation, an academic research foundation comprised of 12 Ph.D. academics and lay researchers, who during a 5-year period, conducted the world's first and only comprehensive academic statistical multi-language research study on UFO contact experiencers. Much of FREE's research data, based on responses from over 4,300 UFO contact experiencers from over 100 countries, contradicts much of what is circulating in mainstream materialist Ufology. Rey was one of the 3 co-editors of the historic 820-page academic book “BEYOND UFOS: The Science of Consciousness and Contact with Non-Human Intelligence." Nevertheless, Ufology has ignored the data findings from this 5-year academic research study because the findings totally contradict what has been circulating in mainstream materialist Ufology over the last 80 years. Rey has also published in several peer-reviewed academic journals including the Journal of Consciousness Studies and the Journal of the Society for Scientific Exploration. Rey's new project is a 5-volume book and a full feature science documentary titled “A GREATER REALITY: The New Paradigm of Nonlocal Consciousness, the Paranormal and the Contact Modalities”.

This week I'm talking to Rey Hernandez about his book 'The Mind of GOD: A Spiritual-Virtual Reality Model of Consciousness & The Contact Modalities'.THE MIND OF GOD is the "Introduction" to the 4-volume academic book series titled A Greater Reality. This 200-page book provides a new theory, supported by academic research, that we live in a spiritual and virtual reality with a non-religious "GOD" and that we are eternal spiritual beings. This book is meant for those individuals that do not want to read the 2,500 pages contained in our 4 volumes.A GREATER REALITY is a 4-volume academic book series that aims to articulate a new paradigm that seeks to integrate the findings of consciousness research and the phenomenology of extraordinary experiences, what we at the Consciousness and Contact Research Institute (CCRI) call the Contact Modalities. CCRI is an academic research institute committed to an integrative approach to the entire spectrum of psychophysical anomalies. Members include professionals in the fields of Astrophysics, Theoretical Physics, Philosophy, Psychiatry, Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology, Quantum Biology, Information Sciences, Parapsychology, and Medical Doctors. The five co-editors of the 5-volume book series, A Greater Reality, are Harvard Astrophysicist Dr. Rudy Schild, Medical Doctor and noted NDE researcher, Dr. Jeffrey Long, Reinerio (Rey) Hernandez, an attorney, and ex-Ph.D. Candidate at UC Berkeley, Dr. Jon Klimo, a retired professor of Psychology and Ph.D. from Brown University, and Dr. Michael Grosso, a former professor of Philosophy and Ph.D. from Columbia University.THE CONTACT MODALITIES are all the diverse ways humans are piercing the veil of our multidimensional reality and having contact with Non-Human Intelligence. The evidence for various types of extraordinary experiences suggests that humans may be in contact with higher forms of intelligence. The Contact Modalities are Near Death Experiences (NDEs), Out of Body Experiences (OBEs), Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP/UFOs), Spirit/Ghost Apparitions, Remote Viewing, Hallucinogenic/Psychedelic Experiences, Channeling, Post-Death Communications, Mystical Meditation, Lucid Dreams, Human Initiated Contact Experiences (HICE) and various other forms of altered states of consciousness that allow us to be in contact with transcendent realities.CONSCIOUSNESS IS FUNDAMENTAL. CCRI argues that mind and consciousness are fundamental and non-local, and that matter, energy, and information are ultimately grounded in one mind and consciousness. We argue that “Consciousness is Fundamental and that our physical world is a manifestation of consciousness and not our physical reality” -- the philosophical position that the only thing that exists is consciousness. We hypothesize that all of the Contact Modalities are interrelated via a manipulation of space-time and by definition might be interdimensional in nature.ONE PHENOMENON. We argue that there is a range of states of consciousness, the Contact Modalities, where we can access both non-physical and physical realms and interact with perceived higher forms of intelligence via our ordinary senses. For all of these reasons, we assert that the Contact Modalities need to be studied as one phenomenon-- as manifestations of a single greater source of mind and consciousness.Volumes 1 & 2 will be our theoretical volumes and will feature articles by Ph.D. academics, medical doctors, and researchers who have focused on researching the connection between Consciousness and the Contact Modalities.Volumes 3 & 4 will feature articles by individuals who have had many diverse contact experiences with our Greater Reality.Rey graduated with honors from Rutgers College, was a Masters Candidate at Cornell University and was a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California at Berkeley where he was the recipient of a National Science Foundation Ph.D. Fellowship.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Alan Winter was born in Newark, NJ and graduated from Livingston High School. He graduated with honors in history from Rutgers College, New Brunswick, NJ, before pursuing advanced degrees from Columbia and NYU. His many professional accomplishments include editing a journal for eleven years, publishing more than twenty scientific articles, and being appointed associate professor at both Columbia and NYU. Parallel with his professional career, Alan began to write fiction. That was more than thirty-five years ago. ABOUT THE BOOK - SINS OF THE FATHERS Sins of the Fathers is the eye-opening novel―based on historical facts―of the efforts of German military leaders, career civil servants, and clergy to solicit England's assistance to bring down the tyrant in 1938. When Prime Minster Neville Chamberlain refused to meet with them, they turned to Winston Churchill, who secretly supported their cause. Armed with a strongly worded letter from the future prime minister, they waited for Hitler's telephone call ordering German troops to invade Czechoslovakia―the signal for their uprising. But the call did not come. Instead, Prime Minister Chamberlain went to Hitler's apartment in Munich only to bow to the dictator's will. The invasion was over before it began―and with that, so was the coup. Flying home, Chamberlain announced he had obtained “peace for our times.”

Listen NowMr. Eric Weinberg is co-author with College of New Jersey Journalism Professor, Donna Shaw, of the recently published work, Blood On Their Hands, How Greedy Companies, Inept Bureaucracy, and Bad Science Killed Thousands of Hemophiliacs (Rutgers University Press). The book details how beginning in the late 1970s through the mid-1980s tens of thousands of hemophiliacs in the US (and tens of thousands more around the world) became infected with HIV via the use of life-saving plasma-based blood clotting medicines. Manufactures knew plasma-based products transmitted disease, for example, it was well known clotting medicines had infected countless hemophiliacs with hepatitis. Nevertheless, neither did they cleanse or purify their blood clotting products, technology that was also well known, nor warn patients of adverse side effects. Federal regulators, similarly, did nothing. As a result, by the late 1980s the mean life span of a hemophiliac declined by over fifteen years. While (civil) financial settlements were reached with approximately 6,000 victims or their families and the Congress passed in 1998 legislation, the Ricky Ray Hemophilia Relief Act, that provided additional compensation, the Justice Department chose not to criminally prosecute anyone. During this 35 minute conversation Mr. Weinberg discusses among other issues how blood plasma was obtained in the 1970s and 1980s, the position manufactures held on the safety of their clotting medicines, a (failed) federal class action effort to compensate hemophiliacs and their family survivors, the influential Institute Of Medicines 1995 report on HIV transmission through blood products, eventual civil settlement with the major manufacturers of these products and how his work representing hundreds of hemophiliac patients and their families over more than a decade affected him. Mr. Eric Weinberg is the principal of the Weinberg Law Firm, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey, since 1984. Since founding the firm, Mr. Weinberg has tried approximately thirty jury trials and over two hundred bench trials to verdict. He has also served as a Visiting Lecturer at Cook College, Rutgers University and has taught Ph.D. candidates at the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations. Previously, Mr. Weinberg worked for the law firm Franchino, Lenahan and Cross and prior still served as Chief of Juvenile Prosecutions and Assistant County Prosecutor in Somerset County, New Jersey. Mr. Weinberg has been an invited speaker in many forums on topics relating to the prosecution and settlement of serious injury cases, including mass torts and catastrophic injury cases. Mr. Weinberg is the recipient of numerous awards for his years of community service. He was graduated from Rutgers College in 1977 and from Boston University School of Law in 1980. He is admitted to the Bar of the States of New Jersey and New York as well as numerous federal courts. This is a public episode.

This Is How You Lose Her (Riverhead Books) Join us tonight for a very special reading from one of our generation's most celebrated writers, Junot Diaz! Junot is visiting Los Angeles for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles' 22nd Anniversary Celebration, during which he will receive the Los Angeles Public Library's 2014 Literary Award. To learn more about the work of the Library Foundation, visit lfla.org. Junot Díaz's first book, Drown, established him as a major new writer with “the dispassionate eye of a journalist and the tongue of a poet” (Newsweek). His first novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, was a literary sensation, topping best-of-the-year lists and winning a host of major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize. Now Díaz turns his remarkable talent to the haunting, impossible power of love—obsessive love, illicit love, fading love, maternal love. This Is How You Lose Her (Riverhead) is one of the most celebrated books of last year. In prose that is endlessly energetic, inventive, tender, and funny, Díaz's stories lay bare the infinite longing and inevitable weakness of the human heart. They remind us that passion always triumphs over experience, and that “the half-life of love is forever.” At the heart of these stories is the irrepressible, irresistible Yunior, a young hardhead whose longing for love is equaled only by his recklessness—and by the extraordinary women he loves and loses: artistic Alma; the aging Miss Lora; Magdalena, who thinks all Dominican men are cheaters; and the love of his life, whose heartbreak ultimately becomes his own. Praise for This Is How You Lose Her "Junot Diaz writes in an idiom so electrifying and distinct it's practically an act of aggression, at once enthralling, even erotic in its assertion of sudden intimacy... [It is] a syncopated swagger-step between opacity and transparency, exclusion and inclusion, defiance and desire... His prose style is so irresistible, so sheerly entertaining, it risks blinding readers to its larger offerings. Yet he weds form so ideally to content that instead of blinding us, it becomes the very lens through which we can see the joy and suffering of the signature Diaz subject: what it means to belong to a diaspora, to live out the possibilities and ambiguities of perpetual insider/outsider status." -"The New York Times Book Review " "Nobody does scrappy, sassy, twice-the-speed of sound dialogue better than Junot Diaz. His exuberant short story collection, called This Is How You Lose Her, charts the lives of Dominican immigrants for whom the promise of America comes down to a minimum-wage paycheck, an occasional walk to a movie in a mall and the momentary escape of a grappling in bed." -Maureen Corrigan, NPR "Exhibits the potent blend of literary eloquence and street cred that earned him a Pulitzer Prize... Diaz's prose is vulgar, brave, and poetic." -"O Magazine" "Searing, irresistible new stories... It's a harsh world Diaz conjures but one filled also with beauty and humor and buoyed by the stubborn resilience of the human spirit." -"People " Junot Diaz was born in the Dominican Republic and raised in New Jersey. He is the author of the critically acclaimed Drown; The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award; and This Is How You Lose Her, a New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist. He is the recipient of a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, PEN/Malamud Award, Dayton Literary Peace Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship, and PEN/O. Henry Award.
