Robert’s Reviews > On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous > Status Update

I absolutely adore Ocean Vuong’s voice: clear, open, and profoundly tender. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a book about pain, memory, family, and the political forces that shape a life, but it continually carries us back toward the world—where we are both the body drowning and the water—and toward one another, finding a fragile joy in our mutual vulnerability.
