New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of 21st century
“A lyrical work of self-consciousness that is shocking intimate and urgely universal … is permanently not so gorgeous.” -Ron Charles, The Washington Post
“This is one of the best novels I have ever read … Ocean Wung is a master. This book is an excellent work.” – Tommy Orange, the author and Wandering Stars there
On Earth we briefly have a letter of a son who is a letter to a mother who cannot read. When the speaker, the Little Dog, has been written in its latest condition, the letter detects a family history that he began before it was born – a history whose sub -center lies in Vietnam – and acts as a door in some parts of his life, which his mother never knows, all of this is a pioneer. Once a single mother and her son’s frightening yet a witness of undisputed love, it is also a cruel honest exploration of breed, class and manhood. Asking central questions for our American moment, as we are in drug addiction, violence and trauma, but have been reduced by compassion and tenderness, we are briefly very beautiful on earth, as much as the power to tell our own story is very beautiful about the silence that is heard.
With amazing urgency and grace, the Ocean Wuong has written about those caught in the midst of uneven world, and asks how we heal and save each other we are. The question of how to live, and how to make it a kind of pleasure, gives strength to the most important debut novel of many years.
One of the best book of the year was named:
