NAMED BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY OVER 22 PUBLICATIONS. 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.
Characters: 35. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
