- W2055164236 abstract "Junot Díaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) plays on the tensions between the two definitions of dictate: on the one hand, to order or command authoritatively and absolutely and, on the other hand, to speak aloud words that are to be written down or transcribed. This article argues that the novel’s narrative techniques and formal structures dictate, or tell, a story against dictatorship, analyzing how the novel manipulates the character-system and modes of narration to resist oppressive domination. First, I explicate how the novel marginalizes and parodies the dictator and centralizes socially marginalized characters in the overall narrative structure to challenge authoritarian power and hegemonic discourses. Subsequently, I demonstrate how the novel mobilizes underground storytelling modes—specifically hearsay, footnotes, and silences—formally to represent and critique the dissemination and repression of information under dictatorship. I end by situating The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao in an emerging set of dictatorship novels written by Latina/os, arguing that contemporary Latino authors such as Díaz are generating a counter-dictatorial imaginary rooted in intersectional analyses of authoritarianism, racial domination, heteropatriarchy, and imperialism in the hemisphere." @default.
