Bryan Washington Talks About Showing Up, Growing Up, and Morning-After Omelets

Bryan Washington's extraordinary new novel 'Memorial' shares the story of two men in love and at a crossroads in their four-year relationship, when some family dynamics shift and they have to reevaluate who they are in the world, and to one another. There's also a ton of great food on every other page. Washington joined Communal Table on a call from Houston, TX to talk about the care and feeding of loved ones, writing a place for himself in the contemporary fiction landscape (it helps when Barack Obama is already a fan of your work), and what Thanksgiving looks like in communal isolation.
