On Earth We’re Briefly Beautiful is a letter from a son to a mom who can not learn. Written when the speaker, Little Canine, is in his late 20s, the letter reveals a household’s historical past that started earlier than he was born – a historical past whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam – and serves as a doorway into elements of his life his mom has by no means recognized, all of it resulting in an unforgettable revelation. Without delay a witness to the fraught but plain love between a single mom and her son, it’s also a brutally sincere exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American second, immersed as we’re in habit, violence, and trauma, however undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Beautiful is as a lot in regards to the energy of telling one’s personal story as it’s in regards to the obliterating silence of not being heard. With gorgeous urgency and style, Ocean Vuong writes of individuals caught between disparate worlds and asks how we heal and rescue each other with out forsaking who we’re. The query of methods to survive, and methods to make of it a sort of pleasure, powers an important debut novel of a few years.
