In addition to providing background information on Duke's Summer Reading 2009: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, this guide offers faculty an interdisciplinary approach to the book, showing the many different ways one might create a discussion or assignment to include the book in your first year class.  We hope that this information will be useful for you, as you prepare to use the book in your classes this fall.
