A Novel Idea - Adult Fiction Book Club: The Emperor of Gladness
Join us for the next Adult Fiction Book Club meetup where we'll discuss The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong.
Thursday, June 26th 6:30pm at A Novel Idea
*BYO cup for wine!
"A masterwork." --Bryan Washington, author of Palaver and Family Meal
Ocean Vuong returns with a bighearted novel about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive
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 transform Hai's relationship to himself, his family, and a community on 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 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.
To participate, we ask that you either purchase the book from us or make a comparable donation to the shop.

Step into a transformative journey of self-discovery in this 90-minute Blindfolded Kundalini Yoga Meditation Workshop. Through the power of breathwork, movement, and guided visualization, you will tap into a deep connection with your highest self, unhindered by external distractions.
We begin with grounding exercises to settle into the present moment, followed by a Kundalini warm-up sequence designed to awaken your energy and expand your breath capacity. Then, with blindfolds on, we embark on a powerful guided meditation to connect with the vision of your best future self—unlocking clarity, confidence, and deep inner wisdom.
Why blindfolded? When we remove visual stimuli, our other senses heighten, allowing us to:
-Deepen our internal awareness
-Activate the third eye and intuitive insight
-Release limiting beliefs by going beyond the physical world
-Experience meditation in a more profound and immersive way
After the meditation, you’ll have space for journaling and self-reflection, integrating the insights that emerged during your practice. We’ll close with community sharing, creating a supportive space to connect, express, and embody the wisdom received.
Whether you are new to meditation or an experienced practitioner, this workshop will help you expand your consciousness, deepen your self-trust, and align with your highest potential.
Spaces are limited, register to reserve yours!
Only $33 in exchange for this magical offering!
