So I just want to say you and your family immigrated from Vietnam to the United States when you were just two years old. And I know your mother worked in a nail salon for 25 years to support the family. And she watched the Oprah show every day at four o'clock. That TV would be on. That's what you told me when I called you.

Oh, my God. Now I'm going to cry. Well, I think your mother is with us in spirit today. She would be so proud that it is now your book that I'm holding up and telling the world about her son And when you were, you know, working in the nail salon, you're working at the Boston Market, how did you get to be Ocean Vuong, the celebrated writer?

When I called you, I told you that when I told you I was choosing this as a book club, I said, I still think about High. I still think about Sony. I still think about these characters.
