The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz (Pulitzer Prize 2008)

Posted on August 22, 2017April 19, 2022 by Mike

In this Episode of the Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast, we discuss the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. We tackle the hard hitting questions, like “What’s the Fukú americanus?” “Who does the fukú effect the most?” “Why is Oscar so fat and nerdy?” and “Who is the real main character of the book?” among others.

To go along with this tropical-themed episode, we drank two delicious summer beers from Flying Dog Brewery (sponsor us!) called Fever Dream and Tropical Bitch as well as Romantic Chemistry from Dogfish Head.

Join us next week when we read The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
