I came across this New York Times book review for Junot Diaz’s book, “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,” which I would like to recommend to our readers.

Although the reviewer stretches it a bit, as NYT writers often do, by employing labored and extended literary terms that in the end don’t say much, “The tale of Oscar’s coming-of-age is in some ways the book’s thinnest layer, a young-adult melodrama draped over a multigenerational immigrant family chronicle that dabbles in tropical magic realism, punk-rock feminism, hip-hop machismo, post-postmodern pyrotechnics and enough polymorphous multiculturalism to fill up an Introduction to Cultural Studies syllabus.” Still, the review is worth taking a look at. (I believe NYT writers get paid by word count.)
