SUMMARY:HYP Book Club: “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao”
DESCRIPTION: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 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. \nJunot 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. Join the HYP Book Club as we discuss one of the New York Times’ greatest novels of the 21st century. \nPlease register for the event here.\nSend any questions to Dave Beaver at d4veb3aver@gmail.com
