2007 - The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao - Plot & Excerpts
Left a virgin, returned one. Took down his childhood posters — Star Blazers, Captain Harlock — and tacked up his college ones — Akira and Terminator 2. Now that Reagan and the Evil Empire had ridden off into never-never land, Oscar didn’t dream about the end no more. Only about the Fall. He put away his Aftermath! game and picked up Space Opera. These were the early Clinton years but the economy was still sucking an eighties cock and he kicked around, doing nada for al most seven months, went back to subbing at Don Bosco whenever one of the teachers got sick. (Oh, the irony!) He started sending his stories and novels out, but no one seemed interested. Still, he kept trying and kept writing. A year later the substituting turned into a full-time job. He could have refused, could have made a ‘saving throw’ against Torture, but instead he went with the flow. Watched his horizons collapse, told himself it didn’t matter. Had Don Bosco, since last we visited, been miraculously transformed by the spirit of Christian brotherhood?
