Oscar Hijuelos Part of the reason I like his work so much is that it has a real noiresque feel about it. He has a very literary sensibility and a wonderful sense of narrative, and really knows how to build themes in a way that is rather beguiling. When I first started reading his books I said this guy has got a wonderful style, and it is reminiscent of something I like myself – and then I found out he was a big fan of my work. (Source)
