The book jacket of Ocean Vuong’s debut novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is designed by Darren Haggar, the art director of Penguin Press, New York. It overlays a close-cropped black-and-white photograph by Sam Contis (Embrace, 2015) with the title of the book. The latter, and the name of the Vietnamese-American writer, make use of Perpetua.
