In May we will be reading ON EARTH WE’RE BRIEFLY GORGEOUS by Ocean Vuong. This story is a letter from a son written to his mother who can’t read. Throughout the letter, the writer unearths family history rooted in Vietnam and allows him a doorway into parts of his life his mother had never known. It’s as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.

We’ll meet to discuss this book on May 28 from 6-7 p.m. Join us in person at the store or via Zoom if you want to join virtually!
