This is the long-awaited first novel from one of the most original and memorable writers working today. 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. D’az 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 D’az as one of the best and most exciting voices of our time.

看这本书之前我充满了期待,看完后也证明了没有让我失望。 首先来说说我最喜欢的姐姐洛拉。洛拉是身于美国的多米尼加人,一生没有见过抛弃母亲的父亲,由一人兼做数份工的母亲贝利西亚养大。洛拉虽然成绩优秀,聪明过人,但绝对不是书呆子,相反,她有思想,有主见,知道... (展开)![](https://img2.doubanio.com/icon/u1482468-81.jpg)

多米尼加胖子短暂而奇妙的一生
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
朱诺·迪亚斯形容自己是另一个普通而可怜的移民孩子,但是他的作品告诉了你一个截然不同的故事:奥斯卡带着热情为哺育过他的土地、语言、文化活着,他所植根的一切将一个家族聚拢、拆开,他短暂而奇妙的一生也是多米尼加的历史…… 另一种方式书写历史 采访、撰文/钟 蓓 必... (展开)![](https://img1.doubanio.com/icon/u3790983-100.jpg)

结构支离破碎,但还是非常值得一读。能让你在机场等飞机时大笑的作家一定是个不错的作家。在娱乐大众的同时也非常”政治正确“且能按下评委们各种”按钮“。

非常生动的一本书。而且有声书版本读的也很生动。即使无法感同身受多米尼克人对爱的疯狂,但是不妨碍感受主角以及整个家庭每一个人的鲜活立体的人生。
