Opal is a lot of things—orphan, high school dropout, full-time cynic and part-time cashier—but above all, she's a determined to find a better life for her younger brother Jasper. One that gets them out of Eden, Kentucky, a town remarkable for only two things: bad luck and E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth century author of The Underland, who disappeared over a hundred years ago. All she left behind were dark rumors—and her home. Everyone agrees that it’s best to ignore the uncanny mansion and its misanthropic heir, Arthur. Almost everyone, anyway.

Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

Is it because of the boy who appears? He calls himself the Messenger of Fear. If the world does not bring justice to those who do evil, the Messenger will. He offers the wicked a game. If they win, they go free. If they lose, they will live their greatest fear. Either way, their sanity will be challenged.

Publisher's summary
Fewer words. Sharper stories. Bigger impact.
Are you getting bogged down in lengthy prose and bloated descriptions? Time to say f--k the details and write stories that move!
Descriptive elements don't have to be speed bumps that grind everything to a halt. Ditch the fluff and craft lean stories that grab your listeners by the eyeballs and pack a bone-crunching punch.
In this quick listen you will learn how to:
- Write description that leverages common knowledge and the experience of the listener to omit details that the reader can imagine for you.
- Show a character’s frame of mind with action, keeping the story moving.
- Identify which details to keep and which to throw away.
Through Joel’s before-and-after story examples, you won’t just learn what effective descriptions look like...you’ll understand how to craft them for yourself.
Trim the bloat. Up the action. F*ck the Details!
