Saldivar carefully traces the various themes and life events that influenced DÃaz's writing-from childhood trauma to immigrant life to unusual writing processes. While this project is invested in telling the story of DÃaz as a writer, an intellectual, and an activist, it is also a long reading of his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao (2007). Because of its monumental impact on the course of US Latinx literature and new way of envisioning the decolonial world, Saldivar takes this novel as the heart of DÃaz's oeuvre. Saldivar highlights the novel's germination, its connections with other critiques of colonialism, and its importance to understanding DÃaz's fiction more generally"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a DiÌaz, Junot, $d 1968- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a DiÌaz, Junot, $d 1968- $t Brief wondrous life of Oscar Wao. 650 0 $a Dominican Americans in literature. 650 0 $a Decolonization in literature. 650 6 $a Américains d'origine dominicaine dans la littérature. 650 6 $a Décolonisation dans la littérature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / American / Hispanic & Latino. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / American / Hispanic American Studies. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a DiÌaz, Junot, $d 1968-. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00372892 630 07 $a Brief wondrous life of Oscar Wao (DiÌaz, Junot) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01937757 650 7 $a Decolonization in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00889123 650 7 $a Dominican Americans in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896757 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a SaldÃvar, José David. $t Junot DÃaz. $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2022 $z 9781478023333 $w (DLC) 2021055642 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031447.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221217010629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D1E21527DD911EDB2605C6329ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
