On Earth Were Briefly Gorgeous | By Ocean Vuong | Penguin Random House Publication ( English Medium ).

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. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" is the debut novel by Vietnamese American poet Ocean Vuong, published by Penguin Press on June 4, 2019. The novel is structured as a letter from a young Vietnamese American, nicknamed Little Dog, to his illiterate mother, Rose. Through this letter, Little Dog unravels his family's history, beginning in Vietnam with his grandmother Lan, who escaped an arranged marriage during the Vietnam War and became a prostitute. Lan's daughter, Rose, Little Dog's mother, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and struggles as a single parent in Hartford, Connecticut. The narrative delves into themes of race, class, masculinity, and the complexities of the mother-son relationship, while also exploring Little Dog's own journey, including his romantic relationship with a young man named Trevor. The novel has received critical acclaim for its lyrical prose and was a finalist for the 2020 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and longlisted for the 2019 National Book Award for Fiction.
