✨ On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong ✨
A collection of stories and poems about a gay immigrants journey through childhood and adolescence. He touches on his mother’s past and family history as well as his own sexuality.
I loved this so much. I don’t think I’ve read much from Asian authors but specifically Vietnamese authors and I think this gave great insight on what that lived experience is like as a family of immigrants. While normally short form writing isn’t for me I found this very easy to follow along and appreciate.
