                Junot Diaz writes “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao”, a novel (fiction) that got lots of attention and popularity since 2007, when it is announced as one of the best books of that year according to the New York Times “ # 1 Fiction Book of the Year.”. Diaz views, in this novel, a different life phase of a young Dominican man; how different! In the way, if I am allowed to say, what we know about a typical Dominican man character, at least most of us believe so….The character of Oscar Wao that his whole life is going around the “ fuku” curse circle. There are too many ways to describe the novel and its character. Briefly, “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” “…..is a book about love, about passion, about a character that would do anything [stupidly] to pursue love.” (Sentimental Education, Gustave Flaubert)
