LOT
Lot follows multiple down-and-out Houstonians as they navigate shifting identities, gentrification, and converging diasporas in the Bayou City.
Washington's stories are about gay busboys, mixed-race drug dealers, the underemployed, the undocumented, the immigrants with one eye on the motherland and the other searching for a better place to rest. These characters vibrate with intensity, with longing and misplaced desire and radical plans that never become actions. Our emotionally troubled, unnamed protagonistthe son of a black mother and Mexican fatheris the focus of every other story in the collection. From his first adolescent experiments with boys, to the emotional disintegration of his family, through his climactic crisis as the city that defines him changes beneath his feet, he struggles with the identities he proudly bears and those he begrudging holds.
Lot is an empathetic, vibrant, and profoundly touching collection from an energetic new voice.
Bryan Washington lives in Houston, Texas. He studied creative writing under Mat Johnson at the University of Houston and received his MFA from the University of New Orleans. He has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, American Short Fiction, Catapult, and The Awl.
