This Pulitzer Prize winning novel is a refreshing and spicy piece of work. Oscar is not your typical hero, but the unsung hero of all ghetto nerds. His story is complex and wound tight, told through a multigenerational family saga, cultural and political history, and the powerful fuku (aka curse) that controls it all. Set in the U.S. and D.R. this book explores the complexities of living in two cultures at once (okay, I borrowed that line) with the added awkward coming of age. Fantastic!
