Lot by Bryan Washington

Saturday, July 11, 2020--San Antonio

Lot by Bryan Washington was named by TIME and one of the top short books (fewer than 300 pages) of 2019.  It really is a set of short stories about immigrants, but there are two characters who show up in several of them (although never in the same story together).  It is set in Houston, and anyone who knows Houston well will recognize the streets and neighborhoods mentioned.  It is  well written and the stories are easy and enjoyable to read.  I gave the book 4 stars out of 5.
