I love this novel. Vuong made me care about every one of his marginal characters. For me, he's reminiscent of Steinbeck in that he lovingly creates complex characters who are ordinary people struggling with life's challenges. I didn't want it to end. ...more

Interesting memoir with a non-linear structure that combines stories about the life of a successful actor with tales of his childhood in Ireland. Informative and entertaining.
