Lot by Bryan Washington
4.0

This was a wonderful entertaining, irreverently humorous read. The text has a way of feeling alive, vital—like it has a rhythm and a pulse. In Huston’s inner city life overflows apartments, taquerias, bayous, and the streets. It’s textured and intimate, excessive and understated. It’s a really wonderful point of departure for thinking about class in America, and specifically Texas, how it gets produced and reproduced. It was also refreshing to read a novel that centers queerness. I will be doing more of that!
