Q Book Club: On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous (Virtual Meeting)

Registration Required: https://forms.gle/NmQyUHtR88RT9rbZ6 Q Book Club is back! For November, we are reading On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by poet and author Ocean Vuong. “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous 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. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity.” - Penguin Random House. Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: qcenterlibraryuw@gmail.com. Event Types: Student Activities. Tuesday, November 17, 2026, 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM.
