The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz Book Review

Name: Lisa Shea
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: Great Story - but requires Multi-Lingual ability
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 28, 2008
Review: The most important thing to know about The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz is that it is a MULTI language book. Large portions of it are written in Spanish. There are also numerous other phrases and situations lifted from a number of sci-fi books, anime, manga, which form a language in and of themselves. You either need to know all of these worlds thoroughly to understand the book, or you need to have a "cliff notes" guide next to you and go back and forth between the book you're reading and the explanation of what the chapter actually meant.

The book is told from a number of points of view - Oscar, his sister Lola, his mother, even his grandmother and more. Each person tells a portion of the story from their own point of view and fills in more of the storyline. Oscar is an obese man of Dominican descent who takes refuge in a world of sci-fi and fantasy. He is picked on for his size and his depression and retreat make up the majority of this story. What makes up the other part is the history of the Dominican Republic. With many books you read the story and at the end all you've learned is about those fake characters and their lives. With this book, you really learn a lot about the Dominican Republic - something that most of us probably know nothing at all about. I give the book a lot of credit for all of the research and information it presents in a fun, enjoyable way. The use of footnotes to do it is a bit stilting at time, but it still is enriching to learn the history.

I really did enjoy the book greatly - but I also took six years of Spanish. I could understand what it was saying. I think the average non-Spanish speaker who is reading along about Beli working in a restaurant and hitting the phrase, "Oye, paraguayo, y que paso con esa esposa tuya? Gordo, no me digas que tu todavia tienes hambre?" are going to be sort of lost. I could see if they tossed in one-word in context words such as "Adios, see you later my friend!" However, the book goes FAR beyond that and often you need to know what the words mean to understand what is going on. There really should have been footnotes with translations - there are certainly enough footnotes with less important things story-wise.

In the same way, you miss a lot of the storyline if you haven't read certain books. For example, Oscar often speaks in Dune-language. He says at one point his grandmother "tried to use the Voice" on him. This is a power of the Bene Gesserit in Dune, where they could subtly control someone's actions by speaking in a certain way to them. In another part he is afraid, and starts quoting "Fear is the mind killer" which is the Bene Gesserit "Litany Against Fear". The whole litany gives a mental environment for handling fear, which the reader is expected to know and understand.

More people might get the Lord of the Rings references which are scattered around quite a lot, given the recent popularity of those movies. One woman is "ageless, the family's very own Galadriel," i.e. the Elven beauty from Lothlorien. Speaking of Lothlorien, another section of the book talks about how a woman "who with the elvish ring of her will had forged within Bani her own personal Lothlorien, knew that she could not protect the girl against a direct assault from the Eye." There's a lot of Lord of the Rings mythology wrapped up in that sentence that a non-LOTR reader would miss. Even more meaningful, when Oscar first read Lord of the Rings he choked at the line "and out of Far Harad black men like half-trolls" which represents an entire area of sociological discussion about how Tolkien handled dark skinned people.

This type of situation is everywhere. There are lines from Akira. Commentary from Star Wars. Lots of quick one-line references that bring with them a wealth of meaning, but if you don't have that background of literature in your history, you will miss what he's trying to say. I was lucky in that I am a huge sci-fi buff and also love anime, so I got a lot of those references, but it really makes me wonder 1) what I still might have missed and 2) how much others who have not read all these things are going to miss. Again, the book really needs a CliffNotes to go with it, so you can see what all the references meant in the chapter you just finished.

I didn't find any websites that do this type of breakdown, so maybe I should start one up! It really is needed, to get the full understanding of the plot and subtle meaning in what is being said.

Well recommended if you have that Spanish language background and sci-fi fantasy understanding. If you go into this without understanding Spanish and not having read any sci-fi, you're going to run into a lot you are confused by. You can either just accept that is going to happen or have a web browser nearby to help you translate.

Title: A spicy mix
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2016
Review: I was wary of Díaz and "Oscar Wao," since "Pulitzer" often means middlebrow, pandering and/or forgettable writing, not art. But this is literary art, I was happy to find. Junot Diaz, far from patronizing the reader as do most middlebrows, throws everything he's got at us, all his talents, his knowledge of life, his truths about the way people behave, and also what I suspect is every kind and level of communication of which he's capable, from dazzling, poetic turns of phrase to street talk with all its double negatives and vulgarisms. Often there is great variety of this sort in a single sentence, which can make for a dizzying trip but an exhilarating one, too. There are many complaints among the reviews here about his insistence on peppering his narrative (and dialogue) with untranslated Spanish and what must be Dominican slang. I am sure that a highly intelligent and crafty a writer as Díaz has considered how this shuts out us exclusive Anglophones but went ahead and did it anyway. And we can only guess why, but maybe to do less would have seemed too compromising to his aims. Maybe reducing the novel to English exclusively, or to footnoted Spanish (or with a glossary at the end) would have made it feel compromised; maybe Hispanics or Dominicans were his primary audience; maybe he just wanted to write the way he thought, and limited readers be damned. I once counted 35 words in Beckett's novella, "Dream of Fair to Middling Women" that not only were unknown to me but most of which could be found only in the most esoteric or specialized of dictionaries; and yet I loved the decorativeness of that arcana, the way they contributed to the arch music of the book. How could I fault Junot Díaz when the full palette of his verbal mix contributed to the richness of the narrative, and what must comprise Dominican-American identity?
I was going to penalize Díaz one star for this bilingual conceit, since it was annoying not to have at least a glossary, but seeing that the consensus for this novel is much lower than I expected I'm waiving the criticism. It should be an author's right to limit his audience as much as he wants, and if implicitly the book is meant for other Dominicanos, with the rest of us as a secondary audience, fine. I'm happy to eavesdrop on a conversation not meant primarily for me. (The doubtless predominantly Anglo Pulitzer committee were equally accommodating and understood his writer's prerogative.)
Since I'm spending so much energy here with this issue, let me just say that what made the book outstanding was the invention of the main character, Oscar, a more sympathic and hilarious character I haven't seen in a while. A morbidly obese sci-fi/nerd writer from Paterson, New Jersey who speaks with anachronistic, self-effacing elegance, a kind of modern-day Quixote in his romanticism, who is foredoomed to ultimate, but poignant, failure. (While in high school he answers the home phone, "De Léon residence. How may I direct your call?" According to his sister that's one reason everybody hated him) For more details, allow me to defer to Gregory Baird's excellent five-star summary of the virtues of the novel and the winning characterization of its protagonist. (He faults the denoument as being "slightly lacking in clarity," a fault I didn't find, however. I found it not only clear but pitch-perfect, for all that) There are several glimpses of erudition (such as the distinct separation between town and country in the Dominican Republic being described as "Corbusian") which leads me to suspect that Diaz has resources he has yet to exploit. I look forward to a lot more of those resources being unraveled in future works.
