[edit] Trujillo

There is a factual error in this article. Junot Could have based some of the book based on his experiences in Dominican Republic under trujillo as Junot was born in 1968 and trujillo was killed in 1960 NeoXtremeX (talk) 03:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It's directly from the source (several sources that I've seen, actually), so I assure you it's correct. It was meant to be two separate sources of inspiration, however: it was based upon his childhood and his nation's past experience with Trujillo. I've tried to make that clearer just now.
