The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is such a sick book. i have rarely loved prose so much — he writes how i want to write, so bursting with the SPOKEN WORD.
and the history he talks about! i would love to read a junot diaz history book. that might've really been the highlight for me, learning about trujillo and porfirio rubirosa popped with life.
it's kind of nuts how passionately manly dominican men apparently are, and the odd union of FLESH and SEX with super traditional, oppressive values about women.
it's a really fabulous book and there are many things in it but my father is watching the news too loudly for me to think straight.
