Hello, colorful cast of characters! Welcome back to another episode of this syncopated sound wave masquerading as a podcast. That's right, join the usual crew of Marci and Ako as they discuss part one of the poetic, beautiful, and perhaps... gorgeous queer Vietnamese-American novel "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" by Ocean Vuong!
A couple of trigger warnings off the top- this book discusses the following: war, rape and sexual assault, child abuse, bullying, racism, and a particularly intense instance of animal cruelty. Please take care while listening.
