Ocean Vuong has a reputation for captivating readers with his contemplative wisdom and arresting attention to language, evident in the success of his critically acclaimed poetry collections Night Sky with Exit Wounds and Time Is a Mother, as well as the bestselling novel On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. Now, The Emperor of Gladness brings those same deeply considered poetics to the story of Hai, a young man who diverts from his attempted suicide in order to care for an aging widow with dementia. In East Gladness, Conn., Hai navigates friendships and community building, finding work in a fast-casual restaurant, and reckoning with unvarnished truths about the American dream. With lush, elegant sentences, the distinctive ache of human vulnerability, and a poet's keen eye for poignant detail, Vuong's second novel rings out as a vibrant torch song for second chances.
