Context first:
I'm about to write a master's thesis to finish up my English (teaching) degree, and I'd love to write about Junior Diaz's Oscar Wao. Love the book.
Just one slight problem: I can't find a good second novel to write about, but the thesis needs to be about at least two novels.
My initial idea for a second work was "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida", since I think the themes of magic realism and using it to tell the violent and traumatic history of a country (Dominican Republic and Sri Lanka respectively) make for a good connection between both, despite the geographical distance.
However, my examiner wasn't too thrilled – he's also only read Oscar Wao, not Seven Moons.
So I need a good alternative that I can pitch to him – help me out, book lovers! 🫠
