The Emperor Of Gladness

One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. 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 alter Hai's relationship to himself, his family, and a community at the brink.

Following the cycles of history, memory, and time, The Emperor of Gladness shows 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 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.

Legit balm. Not whipped. Made in USA.
Legit tallow balm. Not whipped. I love this stuff. It's the only thing that soothes, softens, and relieves my dry skin in the winter. Also made in USA, which is a priority for me.

Great winter moisturizer! Not greasy & absorbs well!
I needed a moisturizer that would last in colder weather. My skin is oily/normal and works well with my other facial products. I strictly use The Ordinary products and add this at the end to seal in the moisture. Pretty surprised how quickly this absorbed in to my skin. Has no scent and melts quickly on finger tips. I use it on my face and heels of my feet. Honestly love this addition to my fall/winter skincare routine. A little goes a long way! I have been using for a month now with great results. Definitely a great buy!

Great product if you can actually use it
Of the 4 orders I've placed for this lotion, only 2 have come perfectly. One of them came leaking tallow out of the container and package, and then it's replacement arrived with the jar completely shattered. The tallow itself is so hydrating and smells great, but if the company itself needs to fix it's packaging.

May need to transfer to a different jar since the lids break
I am very happy with the product but a little bothered by the packaging. The lid is cracked and doesn't stay on. The fragrance isn't what I expected, but it is pleasant and a comforting smell.

It’s not as gross as you think - and the dog loves me
More overbuying on my part cuz, well, cuz it’s a stressful time and it’s either buy or eat! so I really have no idea what possessed me to buy this, but I’m glad I did. I use it at night on my face over one of the many serums I have stashed away. I alternate it with other moisturizers because I get worried it might clog my skin. But it hasn’t, and my aging face seems to like this stuff. It does have a slight beefy smell but that doesn’t last very long. Not sure if the bison option or the beef one is better. This was just more of an oddball choice and there we go! Lol. For reference, I have a birthday coming up that starts with a seven, I ignored my skin for years, and had more than one sunburn. So I am definitely looking for products with great moisturizing properties. It only takes a little and I clean off any excess on my chest. And what do you know the dog loves me! (Lol, I don’t actually have a dog.)
