THE INTERVIEW with OCEAN VEUONG
We sat down with the consummate writer and poet Ocean Vuong to discuss olfactive influences in his work. The author of two New York Times bestsellers, the poetry collection Time is a Mother and the novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, speaks to how scent—especially at home in New England—is a marker of decay and rebirth occurring side-by-side. It’s the screaming advent of spring in concert with the acrid dying and curing of tobacco. Vuong is almost democratic about the confluence. There is aromatherapy in rotting books! It calms him that “mildewy, musty smell of time and knowledge” found in a used bookstore. Vuong’s storytelling around his olfactive memories occupies and punctuates imagination. His recollections contain labor and ritual: moving apartments and cleaning the residual smoke stain on the ceiling from daily incense burning; heating Burger King patties in their wrappers on the hood of a car in summer; putting on a disguise of drugstore perfume to line up at the welfare office; preparing a fire to welcome someone home.
