Diaz On Wussies

“There aren’t enough tough guys in literature today. There aren’t any of those characters created by the likes of Ernest Hemingway. Now they are all a bunch of wussies. That’s why I wanted to introduce a tough, rugged character with this book. I want to bring edginess back to literature. My goal is to make literature thrilling, exciting and dangerous again.” Tony Diaz on his new book The Protesters Handbook
