On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
by Ocean Vuong
THE TIKTOK SENSATION
'A marvel' - Marlon James
Brilliant, heart-breaking, and highly original, discover Ocean Vuong's shattering coming-of-age novel. This 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.
It tells of Vietnam, the lasting impact of war, and his family's struggle to forge a new future. The narrative serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known—episodes of bewilderment, fear, and passion—while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation.
'Reminded me that every word can be an incantation, and that beauty does hard and important work' - Rebecca Solnit
