Memorial

Memorial by Bryan Washington — used hardcover with dust jacket. A novel. Good Morning America Book Club pick. ISBN 978-0-593-08727-5.

Benson and Mike live together in Houston. Mike is about to fly to Osaka to see his dying father, just as his mother arrives from Japan for a visit — and the two men who are left in the apartment barely know each other. It is a novel about love, loss, family and what you owe the person you live with. Washington's first novel after the story collection Lot.

Jacket praise from Ocean Vuong, Jacqueline Woodson, Tommy Orange, Kiley Reid and Katie Kitamura, whose line is the best of them: "tender like a bruise."

Condition: fair, and described honestly. There is visible staining and marking across the front of the dust jacket. The book itself reads fine — text block clean, binding tight. Priced for the jacket, photographed so there are no surprises.
