‘They Will Tell You That’ — Ocean Vuong Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized 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.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
