This was a stunning novel albeit challenging with so many allusions to so many other realms about which I am unfamiliar. Of the Trujillo days, I am vaguely aware. I know nothing of comic book heros and heroines, and slightly more about computer gaming. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao was a crash course in all of these entertwined with ghetto life and a family saga. Delicious.
