This is a stunningly beautiful book. I read it for a contemporary literature class, and although it was outside my comfort zone and definitely confronted me with some of its themes and descriptions, I feel like I am slightly the better for understanding even a tiny bit more of a different set of experiences. The prose is breathtaking and the way Vuong can turn anything into a beautiful metaphor that immediately illuminates his message is a skill I greatly enjoy, admire and wish I had.
