Description:
"Funny, street-smart and keenly observedAn extraordinarily vibrant book that's fueled by adrenaline-powered prose."- Michiko Kakutani , New York Times "Díaz finds a miraculous balance. He cuts his barnburning comic-book plots (escape, ruin, redemption) with honest, messy realism, and his narrator speaks in a dazzling hash of Spanish, English, slang, literary flourishes, and pure virginal dorkiness."- Sam Anderson , New York Magazine "Genius...a story of the American experience that is giddily glorious and hauntingly horrific...That Díaz's novel is also full of ideas, that [the narrator's] brilliant talking rivals the monologues of Roth's Zuckerman-in short, that what he has produced is a kick-ass (and truly, that is the just word for it) work of modern fiction-all make The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao something exceedingly rare: a book in which a new America can recognize itself, but so can everyone else."- Oscar Villalon , San Francisco Chronicle "Astoundingly great."- Lev Grossman , Time "Terrific...High-energy...It is a joy to read, and every bit as exhilarating to reread."- Jennifer Reese , Entertainment Weekly
