Reading Reflection #2

The most recent novel that I have been reading is called The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. Up to now, I have read up to page 187 and this novel can be described as one that tells the story and takes us through the protagonist’s love life. This book foregrounds the different themes of culture, identity, poverty, and oscar finding love. Furthermore, this book emphasizes the problems of Dominican masculinity. The author, Junot Diaz, uses languages steeped in stereotypes about Dominican male sexuality. Such stereotypes have had a negative impact on Oscar throughout his life. In conclusion, I would recommend this book to any reader as this novel is an extraordinarily vibrant book that switches between fantasies and realities.
