‘They Will Tell You That’ — Ocean Vuong Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Classic Tee

“They will tell you that to be political is to be merely angry, and therefore artless, depthless, raw, and empty.” Ocean Vuong wrote this in his 2019 novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, naming the sleight of hand by which a writer’s politics gets waved away as a failure of craft. He says the charge aloud so you can watch it work: label the work “angry,” and its subject slips out of the conversation.
