Oscar is a sweet but fat sci-fi obsessed introvert who -- from the New Jersey home he shares with his old world mother and rebellious sister -- dreams of becoming the Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But Oscar may never get what he wants. Blame the fuku -- a curse that has haunted Oscar's family for generations, following them on their epic journey from New Jersey to Washington Heights and back to Santo Domingo. Encapsulating Dominican American history, Oscar's story open our eyes to an astonishing vision of the contemporary American experience and explores the endless human capacity to persevere -- and risk it all -- in the name of love.

评分“我的小说是每个我读过的作家的蒸馏物。”作家朱诺•迪亚斯谦逊地说,《奥斯卡•瓦奥短暂而奇妙的一生》可以成为恰如其分的注脚。拉美文学传统和美国文学传统在这里错综交织,作者无意将自己的创作囿于抽象的文学运动,非教条式的兼容不拘使其作品厚重与轻快并存,国族...
评分 评分本书的阅读体验很新奇,分别用姐姐洛拉和室友(姐姐的前男友)卡尼尔的视角来叙述,从不同视角阐述了卡布莱尔家族的遭遇。书名叫奥斯卡·瓦奥短暂而奇妙的一生,阅读过程中我一直在找这一生奇妙在哪里,直到读完全书我都没发现奇妙的在哪,无非是一个爱写小说的科幻迷宅男自怨...
