Interpretation of the Unnatural Narrative Features of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
According to Jan Alber's theory of unnatural narratives,"unnatural events and scenarios",such as the peculiar sugar cane field and bus in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao,add a sense of vi-tality to the serious narrative.Similarly,the presence of"anti-realistic characters",such as Trujillo,"the great demon",and the"talking animal"mongoose,imbue the novel with wonder and enchantment.The"impossible narrators",who possess the ability to read minds,enable readers to comprehend the charac-ters in a more profound manner.These narrative features elucidate the intrinsic nature of the novel's anti-tradition and anti-imitation,and demonstrate the importance of unnatural narrative factors in the de-mar-ginalized and de-alienated deconstructive writing of ethnic writers.
