“A masterpiece. —NPR

“No other novel this year captures so gracefully the full palette of America.The Washington Post

“Wryly funny, gently devastating.” —Entertainment Weekly

A funny and profound story about family in all its strange forms, joyful and hard-won vulnerability, becoming who youre supposed to be, and the limits of love, from the National Book Award finalist


Benson and Mike are two young guys who live together in Houston. Mike is a Japanese American chef at a Mexican restaurant and Bensons a Black day care teacher, and theyve been together for a few years—good years—but now theyre not sure why theyre still a couple. Theres the sex, sure, and the meals Mike cooks for Benson, and, well, they love each other.

But when Mike finds out his estranged father is dying in Osaka just as his acerbic Japanese mother, Mitsuko, arrives in Texas for a visit, Mike picks up and flies across the world to say goodbye. In Japan he undergoes an extraordinary transformation, discovering the truth about his family and his past. Back home, Mitsuko and Benson are stuck living together as unconventional roommates, an absurd domestic situation that ends up meaning more to each of them than they ever could have predicted. Without Mikes immediate pull, Benson begins to push outwards, realizing he might just know what he wants out of life and have the goods to get it.

Both men will change in ways that will either make them stronger together, or fracture everything theyve ever known. And just maybe theyll all be okay in the end.

Anagrama ha publicado Memorial, su primera novela: «Una novela de lo más meritoria, llena de vida y, por qué no decirlo, de buenas intenciones, sin que ello implique que el entramado de relaciones aquí planteado no esté repleto de aristas espinosas, afiladas con enorme mala leche… Lo más meritorio de Memorial está en su escritura, sobre todo en su elocuente desparpajo» (Fran G. Matute, El Cultural), y Comida familiar: «Washington tiene una profunda capacidad para enfrentarse a la crueldad y el dolor de la vida norteamericana contemporánea y al mismo tiempo ofrecer a sus personajes (y sus lectores) espacio para la esperanza, el alimento y el perdón» (Bilal Qureshi, The Washington Post).
