I haven't been reading as much as I'd like, but I recently finished The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Junot Diaz has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I don't speak Spanish so a big part of it is probably lost on me, but the guy has a way of matter-of-factly blending in obscure LOTR references alongside the history of the Dominican Republic that just works. Not that I'm the kind of person who's wooed by LOTR references as I'm not even particularly a fan, but it's an interesting style. More than anything, he captures that second-generation immigrant experience so well, that even as a Indian guy with no ties to the Caribbean, I feel like I get it and can relate.
This Is How You Lose Her is also a great collection of short stories, and very accessible. Highly recommended. How ya doing, buddy? |
