Memorial

Memorial by Bryan Washington — hardcover with dust jacket. A novel. Good Morning America Book Club pick.

Benson and Mike are two young men living 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. The novel that follows is about love, loss, family and what we owe the people we live with. Washington's first novel after the story collection Lot.

Praise on the jacket from Ocean Vuong (On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous), Jacqueline Woodson (Red at the Bone, Another Brooklyn), Tommy Orange (There There), Katie Kitamura (A Separation), Kiley Reid (Such a Fun Age), Jasmine Guillory (The Wedding Date) and Mira Jacob (Good Talk). Kitamura's line: "tender like a bruise."

ISBN 978-0-593-08727-5.

Condition: fair, pre-owned and honestly described. There is visible staining and marking across the front of the dust jacket — you can see it clearly in the first photo, and it's the reason this is priced where it is. The book itself is sound: text block clean, binding tight, no writing or highlighting I can see. If you want the story rather than a display copy, this is a good buy.

What you get: 1 hardcover copy with the marked jacket, exactly as shown.

Ships promptly, securely packed. Smoke-free. Happy to bundle with my other novels — message me and I'll set it up.
