Hi there!For our next meeting on Friday, April 16th we'll read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz. We'll meet at 19:30
Things have never been easy for Oscar, a sweet but disastrously overweight, lovesick Dominican ghetto nerd. From his home in New Jersey, where he lives with his old-world mother and rebellious sister, Oscar dreams of becoming the Dominican J. R. R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the Fukú-the curse that has haunted the Oscar's family for generations, dooming them to prison, torture, tragic accidents, and, above all, ill-starred love. Oscar, still waiting for his first kiss, is just its most recent victim.
After April, our next meeting will take place on May 21st at 17:30. The discussion will be on The Buddha of Suburbia (1990), written by the British writer Hanif Kureishi.
