Hi Junot,

I loved reading Oscar Wao and am looking forward to more of your writings.

So my friend and I were discussing that how in Oscar Wao, the footnotes form an integral part of the story - to the extent that sometimes it becomes difficult to tell what is the story and what is the footnote. There are not a lot of authors who use footnotes in their works per se (David Foster Wallace is one that comes to mind) What did you have in mind while adding these footnotes to your book?

Yes, neither did I. Which is why I said that sometimes the footnotes were the story for me. Good use, I should say.
