There’s still time to join Storyhouse Bookpub’s March book club. This month, they’re discussing Vietnamese-American poet Ocean Vuong’s debut 2019 novel, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous. The award-winning fiction novel is written in the form of a letter, and unpacks a family’s history rooted in Vietnam. Storyhouse has one book club meeting per month. In April, they will be talking about Girlhood by Melissa Febos, an associate professor at the University of Iowa.
