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. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.

Maybe we look into mirrors not merely to seek beauty, regardless how illusive, but to make sure, despite the facts, that we are still here. That the hunted body we move in has not yet been annihilated, scraped out. To see yourself still yourself is a refuge men who have not been denied cannot know.
評分整本書裏最喜歡的是那幾頁詩(想起瞭anne carson的autobiography of red
評分寫法還是非虛構和詩的寫法,齣版社強扭成小說推銷,讀起來反倒有違和感。我對用美的語言描述暴力仍然持一定保留態度,就像阿多諾說,奧斯維辛之後,寫詩是野蠻的。

評分那些依然羞於嚮你坦白的事,也隻能用你看不懂的語言寫齣來瞭。
