The Emporer

Ocean Vuong transports us to the fictional town  of East Gladness, Connecticut and immerses us in  the lives of its inhabitants—the kinships, the friendships, the trials, the extraordinary in the ordinary which Vuong depicts as acts of “…kindness without hope.”  

“To be alive, and try to be a decent person, and not turn it into anything big or grand, that’s the hardest thing of all…If you can be nobody, and stand on your own two feet for as long as I have, that’s enough,” observes Grazina, the 82 year old Lithuanian immigrant.  Be prepared for an absorbing read — tender, humorous, exhilarating, and riveting—down to the marrow bone of daily life.
