Drown

The first immigrant to NYC was Juan Rodriguez, from the Dominican Republic.  The Dutch Came Later!

By Junot Diaz, New York, Riverhead Books, 1996

A collection of early stories by Diaz that focus on the immigrant experience of moving from DR to the East Coast.  They are surprisingly gritty and disturbing.
