On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

dark emotional

5.0

I've been seeing a lot of discussion on what from "our generation" will be "classics," and as I think about it, I believe this will be one of them. We, as an American society, have not reckoned with the Vietnam War and the damaging effect it had on the Vietnamese people. This book's powerful writing, although abstract, feels like one that can impact future generations if we let it.
