The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Drown

Japanese edition of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - a brilliant debut novel and Winner of the Pulitzer Prize by a Dominican-American writer Junot Diaz. Diaz satirizes the bloody history of violence and suppression under Trujillo's tyrannical power through the life of an immigrant family and the struggles to survive. In Japanese. Distributed by Tsai Fong Books, Inc.

Junot Diaz's new collection, This Is How You Lose Her, is a collection of linked narratives about love - passionate love, illicit love, dying love, maternal love - told through the lives of New Jersey Dominicans, as they struggle to find a point where their two worlds meet. In prose that is endlessly energetic and inventive, tender and funny, it lays bare the infinite longing and inevitable weaknesses of the human heart. Most of all, these stories remind us that the habit of passion always triumphs over experience and that 'love, when it hits us for real, has a half-life of forever.'

This Is How You Lose Her

" Peu importe en quoi vous croyez, le fuku, lui, croit en vous ". Le fuku, c'est la malédiction qui frappe la famille d'Oscar, une très ancienne légende dominicaine. Oscar, lui, rêve de mondes fantastiques, s'imagine en Casanova ou Tolkien, au lieu de quoi il grandit au fond de sa classe et de son New Jersey, binoclard fou de SF, obèse et solitaire. Ses seuls superpouvoirs sont ses voyages dans l'histoire de sa famille. Nourrie des destins de ses aïeux brisés par la torture, la prison et l'exil, la vie d'Oscar s'écrit, fulgurante et désastreuse. Et rejoint la grande Histoire, celle de la dictature de Trujillo, de la diaspora dominicaine aux Etats-Unis, des promesses avortées du rêve américain.

La brève et merveilleuse vie d'Oscar Wao

Una cronica familiar que abarca tres generaciones y dos paises, " La breve y maravillosa vida de Oscar Wao" cuenta la historia del gordiflon y solitario Oscar de Leon en su intento de convertirse en el J.R.R. Tolkien Dominicano y su desafortunada busqueda del amor. Pero Oscar solo es la ultima victima del fuku --una maldicion que durante generaciones ha perseguido a su familia, condenandoles a vidas de tortura, sufrimiento y amor desdichado. Con unos personajes inolvidables y una prosa vibrante e hipnotica, esta novela confirma a Junot Diaz como una de las mejores y mas deslumbrantes voces de nuestra epoca, y nos ofrece una sobrecogedora vision de la inagotable capacidad humana para perseverar y arriesgarlo todo por amor.
