A lyrical work of self-discovery that s shockingly intimate and insistently universa l N ot so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning. Ron Charles, The Washington Post Poet Ocean Vuong s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family s history that began before he was born a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.

Club, NPR, Lithub, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue.com, The San Francisco Chronicle, Mother Jones, Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal Magazine and more! BUCHBESPRECHUNG: Vuong writes about the yearning for connection that afflicts immigrants. But ocean also describes the distinctive way Vuong writes: His words are liquid, flowing, rolling, teasing, mighty and overpowering. When Vuong s mother gave him the oh-so-apt name of Ocean, she inadvertently called into being a writer whose language some of us readers could happily drown in Like so many immigrant writers before him, Vuong has taken the English he acquired with difficulty and not only made it his own he s made it better. Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air With his radical approach to form and his daring mix of personal reflection, historical recollection and sexual exploration, Vuong is surely a literary descendant of [Walt Whitman]. Emerging from the most marginalized circumstances, he has produced a lyrical work of self-discovery that s shockingly intimate and insistently universal [The] narrative flows rushing from one anecdote to another, swirling past and present, constantly swelling with poignancy Vuong ties the private terrors of supposedly inconsequential people to the larger forces pulsing through America At times, the tension between Little Dog s passion and his concern seems to explode the very structure of traditional narrative, and the pages break apart into the lines of an evocative prose poem not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning. Ron Charles, Washington Post In order to survive, Little Dog has to receive and reject another kind of violence, too: he must see his mother through the American eyes that scan her for weakness and incompetence and, at best, disregard her, the way that evil spirits might ignore a child named for a little dog. There is a staggering tenderness in the way that Little Dog holds all of this within himself, absorbing it and refusing to pass it on. Reading On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous can feel like watching an act of endurance art, or a slow, strange piece of magic in which bones become sonatas, to borrow one of Vuong s metaphors. Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker Ocean Vuong s devastatingly beautiful first novel, as evocative as its title, is a painful but extraordinary coming-of-age story about surviving the aftermath of trauma Vuong s language soars as he writes of beauty, survival, and freedom, which sometimes isn t freedom at all, but simply the cage widening far away from you, the bars abstracted with distance but still there The title says it: Gorgeous. Heller McAlpin, NPR.org A stunningly written journey that explores how race, masculinity, addiction and poverty are seen in our country all topics that feel especially significant today. WSJ. Magazine Hands down, the book that carried me through the year was Ocean Vuong s On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous. I m willing to bet this book carried legions of us, with the brutal and yet also tender beauty of the poetics, the intimacy between bodies, the weight of the heart suspended inside longing. This is a book that multiplies meanings, but at the center is a queer coming-of-age story as well as a bicultural family history. The shadow of a mother-son relationship and the shadow of the America-Vietnam relationship haunts the story. I fell in love with the narrator a hundred times over. I also felt suspended between the atomized mother who cannot fully understand the language of her son, a son s attempt to both inhabit as well as break free from his own family history, and the force of nature it takes to wrestle the gap. The language went into my body. Lidia Yuknavitch, Vogue.com To read On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous is to experience a beginning again and again. It is to see the world as an open field, full of possibility. Rumpus "A riot of feeling and sensation delirious and star-bright Vuong is pushing the boundaries of the novel form, reshaping the definition to fit the contours of his restless poetic exploration, using language to capture consciousness and being. The text spasms with memory like synapses firing in the dark To read this book is to fill your whole life with it, albeit not briefly. Vuong s is poetry that lingers in the blood long after the words have run out. Barbara VanDenburgh, USA Today Vuong is masterly at creating indelible, impressionistic images Vuong beautifully evokes [Trevor s] seductive power over Little Dog: This is some of the most moving writing I ve read about two boys experimenting together The book is brilliant in the way it pays attention not to what our thoughts make us feel, but to what our feelings make us think. To what kinds of truth does feeling lead? Oscar Wilde famously quipped that sentimentalism is wanting to have an emotion without paying for it, but Little Dog has paid and paid, and the truths arrived at in this book are valuable precisely because they are steeped in feeling. Justin Torres, The New York Times Book Review Vuong as a writer is daring. He goes where the hurt is, creating a novel saturated with yearning and ache He transforms the emotional, the visceral, the individual into the political in an unforgettable indeed, gorgeous novel, a book that seeks to affect its readers as profoundly as Little Dog is affected, not only by his lover but also by the person who brought him into the world. Viet Thanh Nguyen, TIME The novel is expansive and introspective, fragmented and dreamlike, a coming of age tale conveyed in images and anecdotes and explorations Just as he fuels his prose with his poetry, Vuong takes what he needs from lived experience to animate his storytelling with visceral beauty and a strain of what feels like uncut truth For the duration of this marvelous novel, Vuong holds our gaze and fills it with what he wills the migration of butterflies, love in a tobacco barn, purple flowers gathered on a highway. Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times [Vuong is] a remarkable storyteller Depictions of poverty, queerness, and the immigrant experience are vivid, exacting, and humane This book is no ordinary novel. This thing feels alive. David Canfield, Entertainment Weekly The novel s overarching structure is an ingenious representation of our failure as members of families and communities, as fellow citizens to understand one another [This is] a distinctive, intimate novel that is also a reckoning with the Vietnam War s long shadow Vuong is a skillful, daring writer, and his first novel is a powerful one. Kevin Canfield, San Francisco Chronicle A bildungsroman that vacillates between moments of piercing tenderness and savage brutality, set against quixotic hopes of the American Dream and the devastation of the opioid crisis. Vuong s deeply felt work might just be the first great fiction of this modern, homegrown travesty, but it s also a story that is enriched by both the beautiful and the ugly currents of American history. Chloe Schama, Vogue.com A diary of life on the margins of American society For all that Vuong has to say about history, queerness, and American culture, everything about his book feels specific and personal. Boris Kachka, Vulture Lyrical With this book, [Vuong] is creating an account of lives that are at once overlooked and thoroughly American. These days, this feels like a political act. Wall Street Journal Stunningly lyrical We are witnessing something necessary and powerful with On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous, which asks us to search what is human in us and ask what it really means to be alive, to seek truth within the mess that is life. Philadelphia Inquirer Dazzling We see the power and purifying rage of Vuong s prose. Julie Wittes Schlack, The ARTery on WBUR.org [A] raw, fearless debut In prose as radiant and assured as his poetry, Vuong explores the ability of stories to heal generational wounds, and asks how we can rescue and transform one another in the wake of unimaginable loss. Esquire.com [On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous] captures a peculiar kind of American immigrant experience with all of its cultural ambiguity and heartbreak intact. For all of its pain, it never loses sight of the privilege of being alive. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette A candid meditation on masculinity, art, and the inescapable pull of opioids Vuong peels apart phrases and reconfigures them into new, surprising ideas. ELLE An epistolary masterpiece Fearless, revelatory, extraordinary. Library Journal (starred review) Disarmingly frank, raw in subject matter but polished in style and language, On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous reveals the strengths and limitations of human connection and the importance of speaking your truth. BookPage [Vuong s] first foray into fiction is poetic in the deepest sense not merely on the level of language, but in its structure and its intelligence The result is an uncategorizable hybrid of what reads like memoir, bildungsroman, and book-length poem. More important than labels, though, is the novel's earnest and open-hearted belief in the necessity of stories and language for our survival.

A lyrical work of self-discovery that s shockingly intimate and insistently universal Not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning. Ron Charles, The Washington Post Poet Ocean Vuong s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family s history that began before he was born a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are.
