THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATIONOcean Vuong returns with an achingly beautiful novel about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to surviveOne late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on a bridge, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond that has the power to alter Hai's relationship to himself, his family, and a community at the brink.The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which our lives are changed by the most unlikely of people.When Hai takes a job at a diner to support himself and Grazina, his fellow workers become the family he didn't expect to find. United by desperation and circumstance, and existing on the fringes of society, together they bear witness to each other's survival.This is an unforgettable story of unexpected friendship and how far we would go to possess one of life's most fleeting mercies: a second chance.'A poetic, dramatic and vivid story. It has an epic sweep but it also handles intimacy and love with delicacy and deep originality' COLM TOIBIN'Tender and moving' REBECCA SOLNIT'A masterwork' BRYAN WASHINGTON
