Bryan Washington in Conversation with Rumaan Alam

Bryan Washington and Rumaan Alam

Bryan Washington burst onto the literary scene with Lot, a collection of short stories that won a slew of prizes and was named by President Obama as one of his favorite books of 2019.

He’s followed that with a novel that critics are saying is even better. Memorial is “A reminder of how powerful a novel can be” (Refinery 29); “A fresh, vibrant love story that interweaves race, queerness, nationality, family, and intimacy with narrative ease” (Vogue). Join this brilliant young writer in conversation Rumaan Alam, author of Rich and Pretty, That Kind of Mother and Leave the World Behind.
