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

Contrary to the critics, I don’t believe that this book is overly polished. I find Vuong’s analogies and descriptions disorganized, creating a distance between Dog and the reader. The delivery of lines muddies the author's point and makes me perceive the book as an initial draft rather than a final product.

I was interested in the concept of this book, but the execution has lost me.

Although beautiful, the book’s theme feels lost in poetry.
