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

I wanted to go there and have some of that damn cornbread. I could taste that cornbread. I know it's got a lot of sugar in it, but I wanted to have some cornbread.

And I just thought, I wish I could go to the home market and hang out and sit there and hang with everybody. I really did. I mean, obviously, the mother figure in me was like, call your mother.
