A native of Houston, Texas, Bryan Washington is the author of the story collection Lot and the novels Memorial and Family Meal. Now based in Tokyo, Japan, Washington returns to his hometown to share his new novel, Palaver, about an expat son living in Japan and his estranged mother who turns up on his doorstep. Both mother and son try the best they can to define where “home” really is, and whether they can find it in each other.
Washington will read from Palaver, followed by an on-stage conversation led by acclaimed ABC-13 News journalist Melanie Lawson. The evening will conclude with a book sale and signing.
