Presenting: La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao
Now available in Spanish!


Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award

The much-anticipated, much-celebrated first novel from the acclaimed author of Negocios. Spanning three generations and two nations, La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao is a family saga that chronicles lonely, overweight Óscar de León’s ill-starred quest for love and his family’s struggle to escape the curse that has haunted them for generations, dooming them to prison, torture, and heartache. With its kinetic prose and indelible characters, this vibrant debut novel confirms Junot Díaz as one of the best and most exciting voices of our time. “A book that decisively establishes him as one of contemporary fiction’s most distinctive and irresistible new voices.”
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
