____________________________________ Stories of a young man finding
his place among family and community in Houston, from a powerful,
emerging American voice. 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. This boy and his
family experience the tumult of living in the margins, the
heartbreak of ghosts, and the braveries of the human heart. The
stories of others living and thriving and dying across Houston's
myriad neighbourhoods are woven throughout to reveal a young
woman's affair detonating across an apartment complex, a rag-tag
baseball team, a group of young hustlers, the aftermath of
Hurricane Harvey, a local drug dealer who takes a Guatemalan teen
under his wing, and a reluctant chupacabra. Bryan Washington's
brilliant, viscerally drawn world leaps off the page with energy,
wit, and the infinite longing of people searching for home. With
soulful insight into what makes a community, a family, and a life,
Lot is about love in all its unsparing and unsteady forms.
