On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
Ocean Vuong
About this book
A letter from a Vietnamese-American son to his illiterate mother, this novel-in-letters ranges from the tender to the brutal — tracing war, addiction, poverty, and queer desire. A meditation on the body, grief, and what it means to survive.
