Celebrating Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Get to know novelist and poet Ocean Vuong. His novel "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Written in the form of a letter from a Vietnamese American son to his illiterate mother, the novel is semi-autobiographical. In 2019, Vuong described his creative process to Michel Martin in an interview for Amanpour & Co. He explained: "As a writer, as a thinker, I am most useful to myself and to this world when I ask: Now what? What can I do now?... I try to write my books out of that question."
