The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

I really could not get into this, even though a lot of people seem to enjoy it. His narrative voice is entertaining, and I really quite liked the mixing-in of Spanish language. But somehow I didn't connect to the characters, and also felt the whole idea of the curse didn't pay off, as this is truly more the tragic story of victims of fascist dictator Trujillo and the violence and corruptions left behind in the Dominican Republic. Besides that it's a lot about getting people laid and avoiding getting laid.
