Colored Pages Book Club

Hello colorful cast of characters, welcome back to another episode of this syncopated sound wave masquerading as a podcast, that's right join the usual crew of Marci and Ako as they discuss part one the poetic, beautiful, and perhaps ... gorgeous queer Vietnamese-American novel "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" by Ocean Vuong.    A couple of trigger warnings off the top- this book discusses the following: war, rape and sexual assault, child abuse, bullying, racism, and a particularly intense instance of animal cruelty. Please take care while listening.   Time Stamp Intro - 00:00:10 - 00:14:00 Summary - 00:14:16 - 00:38:14 Discussion - 00:38:28 - 1:27:49 Also, follow this link for Khadija Mbowe's video essay on digital black face that Marci referenced in the discussion section  (and of course show her some love, -- we appreciate you sis, nice work!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfcYnswbybM   Wanna stay afloat on all our latest episodes?
