In works of piercing beauty and heartrending grace, in poetry and prose, Ocean Vuong has become one of his generation’s most necessary and unforgettable writers. No one who has read or heard him is likely to forget the experience. His is a singular voice in contemporary fiction and poetry – transformative, sensitive, and brave. Four years after his bestselling On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, he returns with his second novel, The Emperor of Gladness, a story about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive. Vuong’s literary alchemy is the mixing of grit with grace through tenderness, and his brilliance and heart have never been more in evidence. Vuong discusses his latest novel and his writing with SVWC Literary Director John Burnham Schwartz.

“Sun Valley really rejuvenated us in so many ways, tangible and otherwise. And personally, as a writer, it felt miraculous and life-affirming.”
