On Earth We’re Briefly Attractive 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 identified, all of it resulting in an unforgettable revelation. Directly a witness to the fraught but plain love between a single mom and her son, it’s also a brutally trustworthy 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 Attractive is as a lot concerning the energy of telling one’s personal story as it’s concerning the obliterating silence of not being heard. With beautiful 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 find out how to survive, and find out how to make of it a type of pleasure, powers a very powerful debut novel of a few years. Named a Finest Guide of the 12 months by: GQ, Kirkus Evaluations, Booklist, Library Journal, Time, Esquire, The Washington Put up, Apple, Good Housekeeping, The New Yorker, The New York Public Library, Elle.com, The Guardian, The A.V.
