The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao-奥斯卡·瓦奥短暂而奇妙的一生

作者:Junot Díaz

书名:The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao《奥斯卡·瓦奥短暂而奇妙的一生》

中文简介:The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao《奥斯卡·瓦奥短暂而奇妙的一生》是美国多米尼加作家Junot Díaz写的一部小说。尽管这是一部虚构的作品,但这部小说以Junot Díaz在美国长大的新泽西州为背景,讲述了独裁者Rafael Trujillo统治下多米尼加共和国的经历。泽西,他沉迷于科幻小说和幻想小说,沉迷于爱情,以及困扰他家族几代人的诅咒。小说由多个人物叙述,包含了大量的西班牙式英语和新词,以及对幻想和科幻电影和书籍的引用。

评论家、剧作家格雷格·巴里奥斯同样盛赞:“奥斯卡·瓦奥重新确认了拉丁美洲人与家乡的文化、语言和历史之间根深蒂固的联系。这也让我们重新思考:什么样的人才是美国人?美国印象到底是什么?”

英文简介:Things have never been easy for Oscar, a sweet but disastrously overweight, lovesick Dominican ghetto nerd. From his home in New Jersey, where he lives with his old-world mother and rebellious sister, Oscar dreams of becoming the Dominican J. R. R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the Fukœ—the curse that has haunted the Oscar's family for generations, dooming them to prison, torture, tragic accidents, and, above all, ill-starred love. Oscar, still waiting for his first kiss, is just its most recent victim. 

Diaz immerses us in the tumultuous life of Oscar and the history of the family at large, rendering with genuine warmth and dazzling energy, humor, and insight the Dominican-American experience, and, ultimately, the endless human capacity to persevere in the face of heartbreak and loss. A true literary triumph, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao confirms Junot Diaz as one of the best and most exciting voices of our time.
