On Earth we're briefly gorgeous [large type] : a novel / Ocean Vuong. by Vuong, Ocean, 1988- author. New York : Random House Large Print, [2019] Subjects Vietnamese Americans -- Fiction.   Mothers and sons -- Fiction.   Discrimination -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780593104293 (large print ; paperback) 0593104293 (large print ; paperback) Description:  351 pages (large print) ; 21 cm Edition:  First large print edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  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, this book is as much about the power of telling one's own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Large Type LT Vuong Checked In Add Copy to MyList
