Новинки Джуно Диаса

Жизнь Оскара Вау никогда не была легкой. А какой еще она может быть у милого, но толстого ботаника из доминиканского гетто? Оскар живет в Нью-Джерси вместе со своей старомодной матерью и сестрой-бунтаркой и мечтает стать доминиканским Толкином. А еще, конечно же, найти свою любовь. Однако шансы обрести счастье ничтожно малы, и все из-за фуку – проклятья, которое преследует семью Оскара, обрекая его родных на тюрьму, пытки, трагические события и прежде всего – несчастную любовь. И только Оскар, еще не знавший первого поцелуя, способен бросить вызов проклятью.
Роман Джуно Диаса погрузит вас в бурную жизнь Оскара и его семьи, наполненную теплотой, юмором и колоритом доминиканско-американского быта, и покажет, как найти в себе силы преодолеть опасность и пережить боль разбитого сердца и потери. «Короткая фантастическая жизнь Оскара Вау», лауреат Пулитцеровской премии, – настоящий литературный триумф и книга, после прослушивания которой вы не будете прежними!

You try every trick in the book to keep her. You write her letters. You drive her to work. You quote Neruda [. . .] You try it all, but one day she will simply sit up in bed and say, No more.

In Yunior, a Dominican-American writer and Harvard professor, Junot Diaz has created an irresistibly erratic protagonist, who sweeps you up in the poetic energy of his speech as he rehearses a broad repertoire of bad behaviour.

Originally the climactic tale in the chain-linked This is How You Lose Her, 'The Cheater's Guide to Love' is a superb standalone song of decadence and experience.

Every kid in Lola's school was from somewhere else. Hers was a school of faraway places.

So when Lola's teacher asks the students to draw a picture of where their families immigrated from, all the kids are excited. Except Lola. She can't remember The Island—she left when she was just a baby. But with the help of her family and friends, and their memories—joyous, fantastical, heartbreaking, and frightening—Lola's imagination takes her on an extraordinary journey back to The Island. As she draws closer to the heart of her family's story, Lola comes to understand the truth of her abuela's words: “Just because you don't remember a place doesn't mean it's not in you.”

Diaz evoca un mundo del que han desaparecido los padres, en el que las madres luchan por sus hijos con inflexible determinacion, y en el que la generacion mas joven hereda la crueldad, la ambivalencia y el humor de unas vidas determinadas por la pobreza y la incertidumbre.

Junot Diaz made his remarkable debut as a writer with this collection of stories that move from the barrios of the Dominican Republic to the struggling urban communities of New Jersey. The stories are all unflinching and strong and Diaz's prose crackles with an electric sense of discovery. In 'Ysrael', two brothers hunt a disfigured boy who hides behind a mask; in 'No Face', the mirror is flipped and the perspective belongs to the tormented. In 'Fiesta 1980', a spirited family gathering plays against the noiseless hum of a father's infidelities. In 'Boyfriend', a young man eavesdrops on the woman next door and colours in the life overheard with his own intense longing. There is an urgency and clarity to these beautifully crafted stories that renders them entirely of the moment. Diaz has veered off the well-travelled roads of contemporary fiction and captured a range of experience previously uncharted and now emphatically his own.
