Lot

Contemporary fiction that follows the lives of two African American brothers in Houston, Texas. Washington weaves a dense narrative about relationships, identity, social class, and the family ties that define us. With lyrical prose and complex characters, the novel explores the intimacy and fractures that mark American urban life.

A work that precisely captures the details of everyday life and the great truths about who we are when no one is watching.
