The event will be hosted via Zoom. Email skirball.center.info@nyu.edu, or RSVP on Facebook to receive the link on the day of the event. You don't need to finish the book to join in!
ABOUT THE BOOK
"On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous" by NYU alumnus Ocean Vuong (GSAS ’16) is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.
