The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Paperback)

By Junot Diaz, Junot Da-Az
$15.00

With a unique voice, Daz creates an ultimate novel of love, understanding and growing up. In developing his unique work, he ties in a bilingual and indeed, a poetic stand of the world weaving stories together tightly and then loosely, and then tightly again. He draws the reader in with magnificently enhanced characterization as well as images of heat, beauty and rawness. His depictions of the Dominican Republic, as well as connected history, bring the reader into his deliciously multicultural magicalism; once in the thick of the story, you won't want to put it down for dinner.
