Short Fantastic Life of Oscar Wau

Everything is very intact in the life of Oscar, the good but regrettable of the fat romance and the fan of comics and science fiction from the Spanish-speaking ghetto in New Jersey, who dreams of becoming Dominican J. Tolkien, but first of all, to find love, at least some. But his dreams would have remained dreams, if not for Fuki - the Dominican curse, chasing Oscar"s family, the third generation. Prison, torture, suffering, tragic incidents and unhappy love - this is their destiny. Oscar"s mother, the divine beauty of Beli with an indomitable and violent disposition, experienced all the power of Fuka on herself. His sister tried to escape from inevitability, and also in vain. And the Oscar, with adolescence, in vain dreaming of the first kiss, would be just another victim of Fuka if one significant summer did not decide to save his family from a terrible curse and find love, even at the cost of life.
The novel of the American Dominican writer was published in 2007 and in the same year received the Pulitzer Prize. The amazing in its complexity and multifaceted romance of critics is almost compared with a chorus with the masterpiece of Marquez "A Hundred Years of Loneliness". The poetic mixture of Spanish and American English, magical elements, a new cultural layer that first penetrated at such a serious level into literature - comics, the history of the Dominican Republic, a family saga, a novel of growing up, a parable, full of humor. In a word, in one novel, Juno Diaz fit as much as it does not fit in the whole work of another good writer
