One of Barack Obama’s “Favorite Books of the Year”
"Phenomenal" --Justin Torres, author of We the Animals
"Brilliant" --Nicole Dennis-Benn, author of Here Comes the Sun
“A profound exploration of the true meaning of borders.” —The New York Times Book Review
NAMED ONE OF THE 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2019 in the New York Times by Dwight Garner
A New York Times Notable Book of 2019
The revelatory debut collection from the National Book Award finalist and bestselling author of Memorial and Family Meal
In the city of Houston - a sprawling, diverse microcosm of America - the son of a black mother and a Latino father is coming of age. He's working at his family's restaurant, weathering his brother's blows, resenting his older sister's absence. And discovering he likes boys.
Around him, others live and thrive and die in Houston's myriad neighborhoods: a young woman whose affair detonates across an apartment complex, a ragtag baseball team, a group of young hustlers, hurricane survivors, a local drug dealer who takes a Guatemalan teen under his wing, a reluctant chupacabra.
Bryan Washington's brilliant, viscerally drawn world vibrates with energy, wit, raw power, and the infinite longing of people searching for home. With soulful insight into what makes a community, a family, and a life, Lot explores trust and love in all its unsparing and unsteady forms.

“Lot” is set in Houston, and it centers around a boy, half black and half Latino, growing up there, and the people surrounding them. It’s a collection of short stories connected by a framing narrative - something in-between a novel and short stories. It’s also stunningly good. It’s reminiscent of Ocean Vuong’s “On Earth, we’re briefly gorgeous” in that it captures the reality of life and death in all its painful details but there is still space for something good.
The writing is excellent - every word is right where it needs to be and surrounded by the space it needs. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
