Cultural Heritage Editorial Review

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a compelling and beautifully poetic novel. The story follows a boy and his mother and grandmother, exploring their experiences in Viet Jam and living in Hartford CT. Written as a letter from the boy to his mother, it is a love letter filled with vivid descriptions of their lives in poverty, his first gay relationship, and his reflections on life and love. While some may find the nonlinear narrative and poetic language challenging, the book offers gorgeous passages and well-described thoughts that will captivate readers. However, the book does suffer from an excessive use of adjectives and metaphors, and the inclusion of explicit content may not be appealing to all readers. Overall, it is a poignant and emotional read.
