The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond, one built on empathy, spiritual reckoning, and heartbreak, with the power to transform Hai’s relationship to himself, his family, and a community on the brink.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the cycles of history, memory, and time, \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor of Gladness \u003c\/i\u003eshows the profound ways in which love, labor, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong’s writing—formal innovation, syntactic dexterity, and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss, hope, and how far we would go to possess one of life’s most fleeting mercies: a second chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\" style=\"background-color: #edeae3;\"\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_1\"\u003e\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" class=\"accordion__summary\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title flex\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"accordion__title inline-richtext\" style=\"line-height: 2.5rem;\"\u003eData om boken\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 00-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 00.708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 000-.708z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_1\" style=\"padding: 0 2rem 0 2rem;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBindning:\u003c\/b\u003e Förlagsband. 8:o (164x242 mm)\u003cb\u003eÅr:\u003c\/b\u003e Utg. 2025. \u003cb\u003eOmfång:\u003c\/b\u003e 416 s. \u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593831878. \u003cb\u003eSpråk:\u003c\/b\u003e Engelska\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding: 0 20px 0 20px; border: thin solid #000000;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: smaller;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörfattare:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Vuong+Ocean\"\u003eVuong, Ocean\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:The+Emperor+of+Gladness\"\u003eThe Emperor of Gladness\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUndertitel:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:Oprah's+Book+Club:+A+Novel\"\u003eOprah's Book Club: A Novel\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFörlag:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=vendor:Penguin+Random+House+USA\"\u003ePenguin Random House USA\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Utl%C3%A4ndska+ber%C3%A4ttare\"\u003eUtländska berättare\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtikelnr:\u003c\/b\u003e 6389958265\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Emperor of Gladness\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e av \u003cstrong\u003eOcean Vuong\u003c\/strong\u003e hittar du under genren \u003cstrong\u003eSkönlitteratur: allmänt\u003c\/strong\u003e inom \u003cstrong\u003eRomaner \u0026amp; noveller\u003c\/strong\u003e i kategorin \u003cstrong\u003eSkönlitteratur\u003c\/strong\u003e.
