The Oprah Podcast
Ocean Vuong: "The Emperor Of Gladness" | Oprah's Book Club

And it immediately transported me in chapter one when I was really feeling something deeply familiar. So I felt really life at the edge of nothing, the looming presence of addiction, the randomness of tragedy, working poverty, fast food. And this isn't the first time that you've written about small towns and near rural life.

On page 23, one of my favorite lines, and I even wrote a little heart by it. And after I read it, I went and shared it with my family as well. I asked Grazina when her husband died, how did she know? And she said, when does anybody die? She shrugged when God says, well done. So I would love to know what that line means to you. Yeah, thank you.

I do. I really related to the relationship between Grazina and High when I was reading this book. My grandmother moved in with my family almost 20 years ago, and she also has dementia. So there were a lot of moments where she fell and we had to rush her to the hospital. So seeing High go through that same thing felt really familiar.
