On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

---

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a
mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his
late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before
he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and
serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known,
all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to
the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it
is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity.
Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in
addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and
tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.

With
stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between
disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without
forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of
it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.
