HW for April 29 - intertextual Oscar Wao

Think of a book or popular culture artefact that you can relate with Oscar Wao and explain why. You can develop your proposal in the blog, so as to complete your participation credits. In any case, make sure to bring your proposal to the class of the 29th and be ready to discuss it. Thank you!

  1. The X-Men series/movies can be related to The wondrous life of Oscar Wao, since it also deals with outsiders not fitting in. Both deal with themes as oppression and identity.
