A work of fiction about being a stranger in your own family and life. Both parents are deaf but couldn't be more different. Into this unlikely yet somehow inevitable union, our narrator is born and comes of age in this strange, and increasingly estranged, household split between a small village in southern Italy and New York City.
** Sunday Times Bestseller ** Brilliant, heart-breaking and highly original, TikTok has fallen in love with Ocean Vuong's shattering portrait of a family. This 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. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future. It serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known - episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation.
