On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

5.0

finished reading this while listening to “call your mom” ft. lizzy mcalpine and oh my god!! i was weeping!! why did i do that to myself!!

but genuinely, vuong has such a way with words. even when i don’t follow the metaphor or consciously understand what i read, it invokes deep feeling and visceral imagery that carries throughout the book. i find myself deeply, deeply touched by vuong’s work.
