Books, Chai & More

(Every 2nd Sunday of the Month)

Date:  Sunday, 11^th January.

Time: 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. (Book Discussion)

Free Entry. Open to all.

This month, Books, Chai & More, the Raah Book Club, will be discussing the book On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong.

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 twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born – a history rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known. A witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutal exploration of race, class, and masculinity.

Manjiree Dhodapkar will lead the discussion.
