Oprah's Book Club Pick • Ocean Vuong returns with a bighearted novel about chosen family unexpected friendship and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive "Stunning . . . A heartfelt and powerful examination of those living on the fringes of society and the unique challenges they face to survive and thrive." —Oprah Winfrey "Magnificent . . . In writing this book Vuong may have joined the ranks of an elite few great novelists." —Leigh Haber Los Angeles Times The hardest thing in the world is to live only once… One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness Connecticut nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain 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. Bereft and out of options he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond one built on empathy spiritual reckoning and heartbreak with the power to transform Hai's relationship to himself his family and a community on the brink. Following the cycles of history memory and time The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which love labor and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong's writing—formal innovation syntactic dexterity and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss hope and how far we would go to possess one of life's most fleeting mercies: a second chance.

1926Best.-Nr. 6543New York: Compagnie Generale Transatlantique 1926. First Thus. Printed Wrappers Stapled. Very Good.

Borders of photos are enhanced with line drawings. Bound in folded blue stock with three-color design printed on the front cover. Saddle-stapled with staples oxidized at the centerfold with slight migration of rust. A well preserved copy. A superb brochure for one of the fabled ocean liners of the Jazz Age the S.S. France of the French Line fleet operated by Compagnie Generale Transatlantique. She entered into service the week following the sinking of the Titanic. Following WWI the France was "Weekly Express Service" between New York and England or France. Published in New York for discriminating Yank travelers many of whom enjoyed transatlantic travel as an escape from Prohibition constricts and indeed showed a club-like allegiance to The France. In somewhat breathless prose "she isn't as big as the biggest but neither is the Ritz . In speed she is one of the fastest liners on the Atlantic - and one of the most luxurious" the swanky attributes of the ship are extolled as well as the refined company one would keep among fellow passengers. Photos promote first class cabins staterooms and suites the grand salon dining salon smoking room children's playroom gymnasium and deck activity including a tennis match. The cover is an exquisite exercise in restrained French styling presenting an art-deco porthole vignette of the ship's red funnels. A charming publication quite scarce: No copies were located by OCLC. Now housed in a removable clear archival sleeve with an acid-free backing. . Compagnie Generale Transatlantique unknown
