The Lowell Humanities Series presents
Ocean Vuong: Fiction Days and Poetry Days Present Ocean Vuong: Time Is a Mother
Wednesday, October 19 at 7:00 pm
Gasson 100
Ocean Vuong’s striking body of work contains timeless themes of class, queerness, and identity. His New York Times-bestselling novel, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, is an evocative coming-of-age epistolary and lyrical work of self-discovery and diaspora. Framed as a letter from a son to his mother, this shattering portrait of family, first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling asks how to survive, how to find joy in darkness, and the meaning of American identity—questions that power the most important debut novel of many years..
