So far, BookMen DC has read two books by Ocean Vuong: his first poetry collection, Night Sky with Exit Wounds (February 2022) and his first novel, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous (June 2020). His new novel, The Emperor of Gladness, is an Oprah Book Club selection, and while Oprah's interview is nearly an hour long, I was riveted--and I went out and bought a copy at Little District Books the next morning.
I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet, but unless the novel is a real disappointment, I intend to nominate it for next year's reading list. Here are some reviews and profiles from GQ, Vulture, the New York Times and The Guardian.
