Welcome back, everybody.

Folks, my next guest tonight is a New York Times best-selling
3
author who has been nominated for the National Book Award and won the MacArthur Genius Grant.
4
His new novel is The Emperor of Gladness.
5
Please welcome to The Late Show, Ocean Vuong.
6
Hi, nice to meet you.
7
Hi, good to meet you.
8
Thanks for being here.
9
Thank you so much.
10
It's an honor.
11
In May, you released your highly anticipated second novel, The Emperor of Gladness.
12
It was an instant New York Times bestseller,
13
and it was selected for Oprah's Book Club.
14
For those who haven't read it yet, what is it about?
15
Well, it starts with a young man who's standing on the edge of a bridge contemplating jumping.
16
And he's stopped by an 82-year-old woman with dementia,
17
and they end up living together in the course of a year.
18
And I think suicide is a very deeply personal subject for me.
19
I lost my uncle when he was just 28 years old.
20
I was 24.
21
He was like a brother to me.
22
And I think at the core of it,
23
suicide is still an act of hope.
24
One does it with the hope of ending tremendous suffering.
25
I would go on to say it's a hopelessly hopeful act.
26
And what was really interesting to me was,
27
what happens for someone who chooses to step away from the ledge right back into a corner?
28
How do you choose life without the tools for living?
29
And it was a question I never got to ask my uncle.
30
And I think fiction at its core gives us a technology to ask questions we never get to ask in life,
31
or is too costly, or the chances are fleeting.
32
You speak in here of...
33
You've spoken of the idea of kindness without hope.
34
What does that mean?
35
Well, the character goes on to work in a fast-food restaurant,
36
and I think many Americans have experienced this, myself included worked at a place called Boston Market
37
and the elephant in the room in in a place like
38
that I think is you're not supposed to ask where do you go after this you know
39
if you go to nursing school
40
if you go to medical school there's a kind of a even HVAC there's a kind of ascendancy
41
that there's a there's an after place but
42
when you work in fast food working minimum wage the the the idea
43
that you're actually trapped is incredibly palpable for everybody involved
44
and I think what you notice then is that everyone is
45
so generous with a kind of kindness because they know
46
that there is nothing else beyond it
47
but they are deeply invested in their own dreams
48
and I think what I learned working in fast food
49
and most of my life as an American is
50
that I'm not interested so much in the American dream as we know it
51
so much as Americans who dream
52
and in every fast food restaurant you see it's full of
53
people with dreams despite not being able to execute them they still hold on to them
54
and they strive towards it and i wanted to amplify
55
that using what i knew best which is language do you think
56
that the dream itself the dreams
57
that they have of something else constitutes a form of hope even if it's not a conscious hope 100 i think
58
I think hope is a beautiful thing because it's kind of always the North Star.
59
And as long as you have that beacon,
60
you move towards, and I do this with my students,
61
the greatest thing you can do as a teacher
62
is to push the horizon back even further because even
63
if your students don't reach their goals they still exceed the limits of where they started from the get-go
64
and i think this is true with any vocation whether it's in a fast food restaurant
65
or writing or entertainment or what have you hope is still the the greatest engine
66
and it begins with language it's not empty and the classroom to me is the most hopeful place
67
Even before a single person steps into it,
68
a teacher or students, the condition of the classroom is aspirational.
69
It's a laboratory of possibility and wonder.
70
And the teacher's only job is to preserve that so that it does not get demolished by cynicism.
71
I think often cynicism can be misread as intelligence in our culture.
72
And hope is often the most courageous thing because it means you're all in.
73
You know, you've gone all into it.
74
Cynicism masquerades as wisdom.
75
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
76
Thank you.
77
Well, listen, speaking of hopeful things happening, here you are.
78
You were chosen for Oprah's Book Club.
79
And I'm just curious...
80
That's a great way for more people to see the art that you do.
81
Was, I mean, growing up,
82
was Oprah a big thing in your house?
83
Oh, my gosh.
84
It was a big thing in my mom's nail salon, because...
85
We were there every day,
86
and I had the best English,
87
So I ran the phones and you know,
88
it's I was so honored to get that call Anytime I get an important call.
89
I stand in front of my mother's altar
90
and my publisher tricked me They said we're gonna have a pub publicity meeting And I said oh gosh,
91
I'm gonna get in trouble So I stood in front of my mother's altar.
92
I said ma help me out here And then they said ah Actually,
93
we're having some trouble with the line.
94
We're gonna call you with an unknown number just pick it up.
95
And then I heard the voice and I knew that voice.
96
I heard it every day at 4 p.m with my mother.
97
And I think what was so beautiful is that my mother,
98
you know, she was illiterate her whole life.
99
She doesn't know what The New Yorker is.
100
She never saw what a literary prize is.
101
But the only time she saw a book for the first time was an Oprah show.
102
And I think what was so beautiful about that show,
103
and even your show, talk shows in general,
104
is that you bring culture to working people.
105
Because a book, even if you get it free at the library,
106
it still takes eight, 10 hours to read.
107
And people like my mother worked eight o'clock in the morning to eight at night.
108
If a customer walks in at 7.55,
109
she has to take them.
110
And that's another hour.
111
She won't be home till nine.
112
And to bring cultural work to the center of people and say,
113
you have permission to access this discourse.
114
And I watched the women in the nail salon look at that show with the books and say,
115
oh, it's about divorce.
116
It's about doubt.
117
It's about migration.
118
It's about trying their best to have kindness as a human being,
119
which is an incredibly hard thing to do.
120
I know that.
121
I don't need to go to school and have a degree to know that.
122
I've lived that.
123
And I think what was so beautiful for me was that it brought the idea of culture
124
and widen it into a town square,
125
and that town square happened to be in the middle of a nail salon in Hartford County.
126
What luck.
127
Ocean, thank you so much for being here.
128
Thank you.
129
Thank you for sharing your story.
130
Thank you.
131
The Emperor of Gladness is available now.
132
Ocean Huang, everybody.
133
We'll be right back.
134
I'm not a man.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
