The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz withdrew from the Sydney Writers’ Festival this weekend after he was publicly accused of sexual misconduct. During the festival, Díaz was confronted by the writer Zinzi Clemmons, who said Díaz had forcibly kissed her when she was a graduate student. Other female writers later took to Twitter and accused Díaz of other forms of misconduct. Last month, Díaz wrote an essay for The New Yorker in which he revealed he was raped when he was 8 years old.
