There are times when the world seems slightly out of reach. Not absent, just a little harder to feel connected to.
It's common to interpret that as something missing, or to move past it quickly. The world doesn't disappear in those moments. You remain part of it, even if the contact feels different than expected.
Often the body responds before you notice as tension, shortened breath, an effort to return to something more familiar.This week's reflection @ https://emotus.substack.com/p/the-myth-of-the-bottleneck #OceanVuong

Ocean Vuong: The Emperor of Gladness
Liked the start, felt increasingly nauseous toward the end. Doesn't mean the book was bad, it just wasn't for me.

"The hardest thing in the world is to live only once."
-- #FirstSentences of Ocean Vuong, *The Emperor of Gladness*
---
Started this on a whim last night. Have to read it pretty quickly to get it back to the library in time, so might not have a ton of #ReadingNotes ... but I'll use this as a spot for sharing thoughts.Despite starting it on a whim, already 100 pages in --- so not too shabby so far!

Was planning to start Aaron John Curtis's *Old School Indian* this afternoon, but my wife brought home a copy of Ocean Vuong's *Emperor of Gladness* from the library and she hasn't started it yet.
Two very different books but am suddenly a bit torn. And by the rules of international engagement, I do believe that, since she hasn't started the Vuong yet, I can legally start it and then it's mine to finish.
Do I want a "poetic, dramatic, and vivid story," one that is "tender and moving," showing the "profound ways in which love, labor, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life" (Vuong, from the book jacket)?
Or do I want "humor, sincerity, and heartbreak," a book that is "brave, funny, and irreverent" (Curtis)?
Hmmm....

Reading Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous. Having been a huge Joan Didion fan for years, I was startled to find her quoted in his opening pages:
“I want to tell you the truth, and already I have told you about the wide rivers.” #OceanVuong #JoanDidion

Just finished Ocean Vuong's newest novel, The Emperor of Gladness, and, holy shit. Very different from his other work, was not expecting to encounter one of the nicest stories I've ever read, often having a Little Miss Sunshine vibe but with found family.
