José David Saldívar
Descripción
In Junot Díaz: On the Half-Life of Love, José David Saldívar offers a critical examination of one of the leading American writers of his generation. He explores Díaz's imaginative work and the diasporic and immigrant world he inhabits, showing how his influences converged in his fiction and how his writing--especially his Pulitzer Prize--winning novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao--radically changed the course of US Latinx literature and created a new way of viewing the decolonial world. Saldívar examines several aspects of Díaz's career, from his vexed relationship to the literary aesthetics of Whiteness that dominated his MFA experience and his critiques of the colonialities of power, race, and gender in culture and societies of the Dominican Republic, United States, and the Américas to his use of the science-fiction imaginary to explore the capitalist zombification of our planet. Throughout, Saldívar shows how Díaz's works exemplify the literary currents of the early twenty-first century.
