I admit to not liking collections of short fiction very much--but what Drown did was recapture my attention just as it was about to drift away, using unique and unexpected new techniques in the stories. By "Edison, New Jersey" I was tired, even though it was probably my favorite story out of them all. I was tired of the consistency of the narrator's voice, always describing similarly hopeless scenes from his life. Then, "How to Date a Browngirl..." shocked me back into paying attention with its remarkable shift from first-person past-tense POV to second-person instructional POV. "No Face" continued to demand my attention with its present tense and different narrator. What I learned can also be applied within an individual short story: it is the ability to recapture the audience's attention, to continue to surprise them when they think they've got it all figured out, that I appreciated the most out of this collection. (  ) stephxsu | Sep 16, 2009 |  Novellesamling eller roman? Det er nok alt i alt en roman, der er i høj grad peger frem mod Diaz' store 'Oscar Wao & hans korte og forunderlige liv', der fortjent tog Pulitzerprisen i 2008. Temaerne er de samme i bogen her fra 1996: splittelsen mellem den kultur personerne kommer fra, nemlig Den Dominikanske Republik, og den de nu befinder sig i, New Jersey, USA. I 'Drengenes by' er det bare endnu mere sat på spidsen som en rodløshed, som her ikke fører til et forskruet indre liv men til vold og narko. (  ) 2810michael | Jul 11, 2009 | A young Dominican immigrant to the US tells of his fatherless youth in the poverty of the Dominican Republic, of his father and mother's reunion when he is nine, and of his adolescence in New Jersey. This very well-done story is told from both his point of view and from his father's point of view. Diaz does a great job of showing the social and economic factors that led to this young man becoming who he is. This short book is well worth your time, I highly recommend it. (  ) OneMorePage | May 15, 2009 | I had to start this one a few times, as it failed to grip my attention. There were some storylines I enjoyed more than others, but overall the collection of stories was mediocre. I can't say I loved this book... nor did I dislike it. It was just OK.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679776575, Paperback)El lector tiene en sus manos una colección de relatos que viene precedida de una enorme expectación. Su autor, seleccionado por Newsweek como uno de los diez nuevos rostros para el noventa y seis, nos transporta desde los pueblos y parajes polvorientos de su tierra natal, la República Dominicana, hasta los barrios industrials y el paisaje urbano de New Jersey, bajo un horizonte de chimeneas humeantes. La obra triunfal que marcó el arranque literario de Junot Díaz puede ahora disfrutarse en una edición en español que conserva en su integridad la fuerza desabrida y la delicadeza del texto original.Los niños y jóvenes que pueblan las páginas de Negocios gravitan sin sosiego por territorios marginales, a mitad de camino entre la inocencia y la experiencia, entre la curiosidad infantil y la crueldad más descarnada. Criados en hogares abandonados por el padre, donde todo se sostiene gracias a la férrea abegación de la madre, estos adolescentes acarician sueños de independencia, asomándose con recelo a un mundo donde intuyen que no hay un lugar reservado para ellos. En estos diez relatos la prosa de Junot Díaz oscila con sabiduría entre el humor, la desolación y la ternura, desplegando en cada página un estilo palpitante de vida. (retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:52 -0400) A primeira ronda de testes foi já encerrada. Visite o grupo Open Shelves Classification para mais informação. |
