Story4.5 out of 5 stars 169
After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of forty-four, he died. In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months before her husband’s death—and her rebirth after he was gone. With rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end of her marriage: how her husband’s illness finally gave her the space to make peace with his humanity and her own.

I listened to this story in 1 full working day. I put on headphones and couldn’t take them off.
Rebecca bravely let’s the audience into her past, and present life with glimpses into her future. She is honest, raw and vulnerable. She unapologetically shares her truth and reminds us to do the same. This is her story, but it can connects women all over the globe-to remind themselves to “B.”
Go ahead and use your credit. You won’t be mad. Also, great vocal performance.

Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. 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 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

I am still trying to catch my breath enough to tell you how I feel about this book. I had to stop a few times to take in how much this book was beautifully written. Ocean Vuong has become my new favorite writer. I will be purchasing a hardcover of this book and reading it for the second time and recommending it my friends.
