具体描述
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.

评分看这个书的感觉就是：可能某些对南美的文化感兴趣的死宅会觉得这本书很棒。 这本书里充斥着相当数量的欧美宅向术语，时不时地来上一段： “主角这时想起了《某书》①，他把自己想作书中的“某某”，然后把对方当作书中的“某某某”。 然后底下来一个注释：《某书》，某国作家...
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...
