Praise for Bryan Washington National Book Award 5 Under 35 Winner of the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence LOT was one of Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of the Year" Praise for Memorial "Bryan Washington's Memorial is stunning. Everything happening in this book is so intimate, sensual, and wise. It is a funny book with much sadness and love. It is a story about relationships, and family, and what it means to have and not have home, in Houston, Texas, and in Osaka, Japan. It is also a surprising page-turner. The scenes and characters here couldn't be more alive and vivid. I love this book." --Tommy Orange, author of There, There "Bryan Washington is an expert in illuminating the way we love. Memorial perfectly captures the lives lived in-between what we do and what we say, what we need and what we allow ourselves to have. It is a beautiful heartbreak." --Mira Jacob, author of Good Talk "Tender like a bruise, Memorial is a novel of uncommon depth and feeling. It is about everything that matters in life: love, loss, community and communion. Bryan Washington will take your breath away." --Katie Kitamura, author of A Separation Praise for Lot "Audacious.... Washington is a one-man border-eradicating crew." --Luis Alberto Urrea, New York Times Book Review "A treat and an inspiration to witness." --Ocean Vuong, GQ "A brilliant display of raw talent.... This is the literature that I've been waiting for." --Nicole Dennis-Benn, author of Patsy and Here Comes the Sun "The promise Washington displays is real and large." --Dwight Garner, New York Times "Stunning... It's hard to overstate what an accomplishment Lot is." --Michael Schaub, NPR "Funny, sad, wise & very alive in the best way." --Curtis Sittenfeld (Twitter) "The kind of stories I am always longing to read." --Justin Torres, author of We the Animals "Gut-wrenching and powerful." -- Cosmopolitan " Lot spills over with life - funny, tender, and profane." -- Entertainment Weekly, Praise for Bryan Washington National Book Award 5 Under 35 Winner of the Ernest J.

Synopsis
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post , TIME , NPR, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, O, the Oprah Magazine , Esquire , Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar , Good Housekeeping , Refinery29, Real Simple, Kirkus Reviews, Electric Literature , and Lit Hub "A masterpiece. " --NPR "No other novel this year captures so gracefully the full palette of America. " -- The Washington Post "Wryly funny, gently devastating." -- Entertainment Weekly A funny and profound story about family in all its strange forms, joyful and hard-won vulnerability, becoming who you're supposed to be, and the limits of love. Benson and Mike are two young guys who live together in Houston. Mike is a Japanese American chef at a Mexican restaurant and Benson's a Black day care teacher, and they've been together for a few years--good years--but now they're not sure why they're still a couple. There's the sex, sure, and the meals Mike cooks for Benson, and, well, they love each other. But when Mike finds out his estranged father is dying in Osaka just as his acerbic Japanese mother, Mitsuko, arrives in Texas for a visit, Mike picks up and flies across the world to say goodbye. In Japan he undergoes an extraordinary transformation, discovering the truth about his family and his past. Back home, Mitsuko and Benson are stuck living together as unconventional roommates, an absurd domestic situation that ends up meaning more to each of them than they ever could have predicted. Without Mike's immediate pull, Benson begins to push outwards, realizing he might just know what he wants out of life and have the goods to get it. Both men will change in ways that will either make them stronger together, or fracture everything they've ever known. And just maybe they'll all be okay in the end.
