From the Archive – On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous: Ocean Vuong On Beauty, Grief & The Language That Saves Us

Welcome to the Service95 Book Club with Dua Lipa, a new podcast dedicated to the books that stay with us – and the brilliant minds behind them. 

 
As well as bringing you a brand-new episode every month, we’ll also be dipping into the archive of fascinating conversations Dua has had with authors over the past two years. First up from the archive, Dua joined by the extraordinary Ocean Vuong, whose novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous left a huge mark on so many readers around the world. 

 
In this episode, Ocean and Dua talk about how care can be radical, how language both connects and distances us, and why sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is just sit with the beauty of a single moment – or, as Ocean so perfectly puts it, live in the whipped cream.
