Selected Shorts: Junot Díaz + Karen Russell

The expressive Díaz, who got tough and tender in last year's great collection This Is How You Lose Her, teams up for this session of short stories with the whimsical Russell, whose new collection Vampires in the Lemon Grove emerges in February. John Leguizamo is among the performers; he will no doubt have a handle on Díaz's playboy character.
