The book deals with life and its complexities in a very beautiful way.
I think there’s something very profound that lies in the simplicity of the book; a man writing a letter to his mother. However, this letter is extremely nuanced. After each page we learn more about Little Dog through the author’s lyrical prose.
Oh, Ocean Vuong you owe me nothing.
