This Fiction Friday, we have a novel by Ocean Vuong, On Earth We’re Briefly Gourgeous. We follow the speaker, Little Dog, in various parts of his life as he writes heartfelt letters to his mother, who cannot read. Through these letters, we witness vivid moments from his life, capturing his first experiences, self-discovery, and family secrets. Ocean Vuong beautifully portrays the aching journey of growing up and coming to terms with oneself.
