Latino Lit Nathan Stanley. The View from Tucson, Arizona. Saturday, April 14, 2012. The Power of Sexuality. In The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

In Junot Díaz’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. He includes many footnotes to explain Dominican history, nerd culture, and anything else the author finds important.

Discussions on Latino Literature. Friday, March 30, 2012. Self-Identity in Dreaming in Cuban and Bodega Dreams. Pilar has a dream of returning to Cuba, to her grandmother Celia. She identifies most closely with her Grandmother – she is tied to her in a unique way, sharing memories, thoughts, layers of life. She believes she could be free in Cuba in the company of Celia – free to grow into the best of herself. Pilar is an artist. Her father, however, supports her dream of becoming a painter. But overall P...

Latino Lit Nathan Stanley: Bodega Dreams
http://nstanleylatinolit.blogspot.com/2012/03/bodega-dreams.html
Latino Lit Nathan Stanley. The View from Tucson, Arizona. Saturday, March 17, 2012. Bodega Dreams tells a lot of truths about the mindset a lot of people grow up with. Finding an own personal identity in a big city can be a struggle with so many negative influences. Willie Bodega in Bodega Dreams grows up with these struggles which can be seen through his conflicts with his peers and his own personal quest for greatness. Nathan Stanley Latino Lit.
