Ocean Vuong

So time, the idea of engaging in this product is expensive on the soul, on the body. And I'm really proud, actually, that they don't, because some authors, their work comes home with them. And I can't even bring it home because nobody cares. Like, oh, book, cool. Put it, you know, put it aside. You know, fry, dye, lay it aside, you know.

Extended family. And they're really proud. They, you know, my aunt actually. She has a little album of all of my press cuttings. And she puts it under her desk at the nail salon. She whips it out. She doesn't think anyone will believe her. It's also interesting.

I'm keeping all your press clippings because people don't think... I don't think they're going to believe me if I say my nephew is Ocean Vuong. I think also like... You know, my aunt was the first one that told me. She says, I was talking about Oprah, and my nephew's an Oprah pick at the salon. And all the people at the salon, they start Googling all the other nail workers.

And then the first thing they said was, he's the first Vietnamese-American Oprah pick. And they probably never read an Oprah pick, you know, but they were proud of that. So there is a kind of symbolic pride, but I don't force what I value onto them because I don't think it's fair.

I don't read in front of my family. You still don't? I still don't. Why? Because there's a sense of, I think, ache when they see it. And I know even when they say, oh, go, go do it. But there's a kind of, when I start to read in front of them, everybody goes silent.

I'm just reading a magazine in the corner in front of my family. Everything goes silent. Because they're illiterate, they have so much reverence for it. As if I'm performing some kind of liturgy or magic, right? And that saddens me. And it was like, everyone, shh, Ocean's reading. As if I'm doing something like a wizard, right? And also...

My mother, when I would read early on in my college life, she would, she was, I wish I could do that. She said, just so you know, just so you know, if I had a chance, I would read too. Hmm. And when she was dying, this is like the days, they're still in the hospital. And I was asking her, you know, you say, we knew it was terminal. And I just said, what do you need, mom? Anything.
