A multi-generational tale of a Dominican family, narrated primarily through the amusing, sardonic voice of a family friend. Oscar is an overweight, nerdy, woman-crazy young man from a family that has experienced numerous tragedies. In the process of learning his story, you also learn some Dominican history, primarily about the horrors of the Trujillo dictatorship. An altogether unusual, satisfying novel. I loved it!
