Discuss The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong.
A 19-year-old stands on the edge of a bridge, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. An elderly widow with dementia convinces him to take another path. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond built on heartbreak, empathy, and spiritual reckoning.
