Krátky popis
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'
