By: Ocean VuongA New York Times bestseller • Nominated for the National Book Award for Fiction • Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling
New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century
“A lyrical work of self-discovery that’s shockingly intimate and insistently universal…Not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post
“This is one of the best novels I’ve ever read...Ocean Vuong is a master. This book a masterpiece.”—Tommy Orange, author of There There and Wandering Stars
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.
With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.

Fast and easy but I dont trust the process to be fully automated.
The process was very smooth and fairly quick. The only challenge I had was that the CLAIM status showed complete but I had to manually go look up the status. There was no email or notification it was closed. After manually checking the status, I called customer support and they said since I called in, they would process the payout. I wonder if I didnt call in if they would have processed it? Also, the phone rep said they would issue me a amazon egift card but then the next day I received a email saying they mailed out the payout. Very poor communication but so far the process was easy and fast.

Excellent Warranty Coverage – Fast, Fair, and Hassle-Free
I purchased the ASURION 3-Year Portable Electronic Accident Protection Plan ($500–$599.99) for an Android 13 8.8” touchscreen stereo installed in my BMW (CCC system). After about two years of normal use, the Android stereo stopped working completely.
I filed a claim through Asurion’s website, and the process was straightforward. Initially, Asurion asked me to remove the unit and prepare it for return, advising that they would email me a prepaid shipping label. I de-installed the stereo from my car and packed it up as instructed.
After two days passed without receiving the shipping label, I was about to follow up—when I received an email notifying me that Asurion had issued a full refund of $459.00. I did not have to ship the unit back.
That level of service exceeded my expectations. The claim was handled quickly, communication was clear, and the resolution was fair and hassle-free.
I purchase an Asurion protection plan with every high-dollar item I buy on Amazon. I’ve had to file a three claims over the years, and each time the experience has reinforced that this coverage is well worth the cost. When something fails outside the manufacturer’s warranty, it’s a relief knowing Asurion stands behind the product.
Highly recommended for expensive electronics.

PROTECTION WITH ABSOLUTE EMPATHY & RESPECT
Had an issue with a product I purchased over a year ago along with an Asurion protection plan. Thank God I chose this extended plan. I was waiting for a return ticket you get it repaired and Asurion sent me a full refund. I am so grateful for Asurion and I encourage everyone to get these plans and get the added protection on products NOT made as they once were. We as buyers are terribly taken advantage of with the garbage sent to us that we pay very very high costs of. Asurion has NEVER failed me and the customer service reps are extraordinary and kind and very very respectful.
Thank you to you all at Asurion,
Johnny A.
Cheers...
