What Members Thought
Achingly sad, lyrically written, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is Ocean Vuong's letter to his mother who can't read, explaining and trying to understand his life, her life, and their connection.

One of the most gorgeous, emotionally complex, intimate novels I've ever read. The language alone is magnificent, the characters and storyline tender and violent, both. It moved me powerfully.
...more
Too much joy is lost in our desperation to keep it.
This book will gut you. It’s so haunting that it’s difficult to read too much at a time. The lyrical prose makes it an ideal audiobook. It explores nothing less than what it means to be alive.
It’s a love letter to a mother who can’t read.
To a dead lover.
To memories that ache.
To the trauma that lives in us.
To all the joy we’ve lost.
4.5 ⭐️s.
