Review of 'The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A modern narration of a historical subject, a narrator whose identity we learn late in the novel, literary time travel to the Dominican Republic of decades past, geeky pop culture references, gripping drama for heart and soul, a dash of politics (elaborated on in lavish footnotes) and a bit of college life -- there's a lot to love in this novel. I devoured it.
