Title: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Author: Junot Díaz
Genre: Fiction
Three word review: Bad ass book.
What? You need more. Sucker. Alright. This is maybe the book of my generation and if not my generation then it's the book of My People. It mixes languages, genres, styles, influences, fact and fiction, history and future, science and supernatural. It's like us. It's fantastic. Also like us.
Note: I wrote the above text last week immediately before entering family crisis mode. I planned to write more about how much I loved Oscar Wao but that's going to have to suffice. Believe me when I tell you to buy and read this book now. Particularly if you are one of my people.
