Description

Winner of both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the most talked about–and praised–smash hit of 2007 follows the adventures of a sweet but disastrously overweight ghetto nerd plagued by a family curse.

Aspiring to become the Dominican’s version of  J.R.R. Tolkien and searching for his true love, Oscar Wao shares and explains his experience with the ‘fuku’, a family-curse that has haunted them for most of their lives.  ‘Perseverance’ is what keeps Oscar moving forward in life.
