ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” by Junot Díaz follows the life of Oscar de León, a Dominican-American young man who dreams of becoming a famous writer and finding love, despite his struggles with identity, family, and his appearance. The novel explores themes of love, obsession, identity, and the weight of history, particularly the curse, or fukú, that haunts Oscar’s family. Blending magical realism with historical commentary, the book reflects on the impact of the Dominican Republic’s violent past, the immigrant experience, and how family trauma shapes personal destinies across generations.
