The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz is a tour de force which will make you laugh, smile and feel heartbroken at the way things happen to people and often happen to good people in life. The novel is superbly humorous yet devastatingly tragic; it makes the reader feel helpless, who is a spectator unable to do anything to pull out the characters from their pit of overwhelming unhappiness. Whatever happens to Oscar Wao is incredibly sad, yet the character himself is wonderfully written. The novel beautifully addresses other aspects of the first-person narration, for instance, the unreliability of the narrator. It is very difficult to differentiate between physical reality and the subjective psychological perception of it, which the characters are experiencing. https://bit.ly/2Zk29ZZ
