On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

4.0

In prose that reads like poetry, Little Dog unravels his childhood as a queer, Vietnamese boy in Hartford, Connecticut. As he recounts the three great loves of his youth, Little Dog meditates on the connection between beauty and pain. Vuong defies conventions of structure and narrative in this debut novel to deliver a fictional boy who touches something real.
