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.
