Ep. 40: A book-length beautiful poem and my fragmented thoughts - "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous"

In this episode, I talk about my experience reading On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong. Was it an immediate hit? No. Was it a miss? Absolutely not. I am still processing this book, and honestly, I genuinely do not know how I feel about it yet. There are simply too many fragmented thoughts and feelings that I can't fully put into words to discuss the actual content. However, one thing I can say for sure is that I really, really liked his writing style. Told in the form of a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read, the prose is exquisitely beautiful. Combined with the way the paragraphs and chapters are structured, it sometimes felt like I was reading a poem that spanned the entire length of the book.Join me for a slightly shorter episode today as I share these raw, unprocessed lingering feelings.#OceanVuong #OnEarthWereBrieflyGorgeous
