On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous – audiobook online

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a good book by author Ocean Vuong.
Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a broken portrait of a family, first love, and the saving power of storytelling.

On Earth We Are Briefly Beautiful is a letter from a son to an illiterate mother. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths the history of a family that began before he was born – a history whose epicenter originated in Vietnam – and plays the role of acts as a door leading him to parts of his life his mother never knew about, all leading to an unforgettable revelation.

Both a witness to the intense yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking the central questions of our time in America, steeped in addiction, violence and trauma, but underpinned by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is about strength. the power of telling one’s own story as well as of wiping out the silence of not being heard.

, Ocean Vuong writes about people trapped between different worlds and asks how we heal and rescue each other without giving up who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make it a kind of fun, powers the most important debut novel in years.
“Did you know people get rich from sadness? I want to meet the millionaire of American sadness. I want to look him in the eye, shake his hand and say, ‘it’s an honor to serve your country. I.”

This is not a novel, or at least not a novel often described in some sense but more like a mixture of ideas, poetry, essays, memoirs with a little bit of fiction, just enough to disguise it as a novel for the sake of the wider world. In an interview, Ocean Vuong said that he was inspired to write something similar (in theme and structure) to Moby Dick, in a way that Herman Melville never “compromised the way it does.” according to its curiosity”. And here Vuong also copied it. On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous isn’t just about one thing; it is multifaceted. And what can I say about beauty?
