Episode 318 – Great Grandpa og The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Så er der bog – bogklub! Denne gang er det Jimmy Caspersens fine forslag, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, vi taler om. Vidste vi noget om Den Dominikanske Republik før vi læste den? Er den ordentlig magisk realisme? Hvad vil den egentlig? Alt det og meget mere taler vi om, mens vi drikker Great Grandpa (et subtilt hint om, hvad bogen i hvert fald også handler om) fra Too Old To Die Young, der...2025-07-021h 03
Crónicas Lunares di Sun (CLdS)La breve y maravillosa vida de Oscar Wao - Junot DíazLa breve y maravillosa vida de Oscar Wao es un monumento literario a los perdedores, a los que no encajan ni aquí ni allá. Díaz convierte la tragedia dominicana en una epopeya nerd, donde el amor por lo marginal (cómics, fantasía) es un acto político. La novela grita que el colonialismo no terminó, solo mutó: en racismos internalizados, en familias rotas, en niños que prefieren Moria a Mango Street. Como dice Yunior: "El fukú no es una maldición, es la historia. Y la historia es una mierda que nunca se va."AVISO LEGAL: Los...2025-05-0830 min

The Seattle Public Library - Author Readings and Library EventsJunot Díaz reads from 'This Is How You Lose Her''This Is How You Lose Her,' is his first book since winning the Pulitzer Prize for 'The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.' -- Díaz's stories center on Yunior de las Casas, a Dominican-born, Jersey-raised writer and chronic womanizer. "Often caught between hopeless romanticism and flippant machismo, Díaz's characters are as vulnerable and maddening as they are endearing and sexy. ... Raw and honest, these stories pulsate with raspy ghetto hip-hop and the subtler yet more vital echo of the human heart."

Lit with CharlesJunot Díaz, author of "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" and "This Is How You Lose Her"The British writer LP Hartley opened his novel “The Go-Between” with an unforgettable line “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” There’s a long-standing idea of literature being a vehicle to explore these “foreign countries”, be they temporal or geographical or cultural.

The most wondrously imagined characters in Junot Diaz’s new novel are its women: Oscar’s goth, “tougher than adamantine” sister Lola, and their mother Belicia. Mami is a shipwreck of female beauty, cancer-ridden and foul-spirited. But once she was astonishingly attractive and lusty, “allergic to tranquilidad,” and her parents were rich and connected. This, too, is history that Belicia barely grasps, that her children are never told about their dying battle-ax mom who berates them in Perth Amboy, N.J. As a 16 year old in the Dominican Republic, we learn in a long fl...2016-12-0200 min
Infinite GestationA Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan | Episode 033Infinite Gestation gets A Visit from the Goon Squad on this episode covering Jennifer Egan's 2010 Pulitzer Prize winning novel of the same name. The book stands more as a study on the emotional effects of time and memory (and life) on a group of loosely associated characters and less as a straight forward narrative in the traditional sense. With a realistic portrayal straying from cliched tropes of the record industry (including that of a Brady Bunch episode), the novel certainly completes its goals masterfully, leaving little wonder regarding the wisdom of its Pulitzer win.
