The American-Vietnamese author and essayist Ocean Vuong is the latest contributor to the Future Library project, which sees contemporary authors pen literary works that will remain unread until 2114.

The world-renowned authors participating in the ongoing project are selected by the Scottish visual artist Katie Paterson, who chooses them for "their outstanding contributions to literature and poetry and for their works' ability to capture the imagination of this and future generations."
