What is The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Pulitzer Prize Winner) about?

Amazon.com Review Amazon Best of the Month, September 2007 : It's been 11 years since Junot Díaz's critically acclaimed story collection, Drown , landed on bookshelves and from page one of his debut novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao , any worries of a sophomore jinx disappear. The titular Oscar is a 300-pound-plus "lovesick ghetto nerd" with zero game (except for Dungeons & Dragons) who cranks out pages of fantasy fiction with the hopes of becoming a Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien. The book is also the story of a multi-generational family curse that courses through the book, leaving troubles and tragedy in its wake. This was the most dynamic, entertaining, and achingly heartfelt novel I've read in a long time. My head is still buzzing with the memory of dozens of killer passages that I dog-eared throughout the book. The rope-a-dope narrative is funny, hip, tragic, soulful, and bursting with desire. Make some room for Oscar Wao on your bookshelf--you won't be disappointed. --Brad Thomas Parsons From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. What a bargain to have Diaz's short story collection, Drown , included (on the last five CDs) with the talented, emerging Dominican-America
