Memorial: A Novel | Bryan Washington

I thought the characters in this were realistically written, real feelings, real dialogue - I felt so involved in their lives I found it hard to put down. Obviously Mike & Ben weren‘t the best suited but I think some relationships are like this 🤷‍♀️ and it was depicted beautifully- I loved the way we got to see glimpses of their past & the way we sometimes have to infer reasons for the way the characters are, we are trusted as readers. 🤍

funny to read this in the middle seat of a packed flight shuttling a Methodist church group. Smart AND fun, a rare feat for a novel these days!! Clearly a debut (stilted dialogue, esp early on), but delivers on its impressive ambitions. What I took away from this is that motherhood, like all expectations of womanhood, simultaneously dehumanizes and humanizes. The only way women become people is by giving ourselves over to the care of another.

It took me a bit to warm up to this, the fear for the "Antichrist" seemed so unfounded when he's just a kid and the rest of the house didn't seem concerned at all about anyone's safety specially the kids. Just think that people who work with kids must be more used to how they act up, especially when scared. In the end I loved everyone, it is, as one of the critics said "like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket". Feel sad that I have to leave ⬇️

nanuska_153 leave this charming island full of fantastic creatures. I'll have to read the second... 1d

"We gotta keep each other alive any way we can 'cause nobody else is going' to do it."

I don't know how to describe this book. It centers a group of gays in a commune, Larry Mitchell modeled the book off his own life . There are pearls of wisdom throughout, many gorgeous quotable lines. I love how he loves women and their wisdom, this was told between the Stonewall riots and the beginning of AIDS with a focus on revolution.

"The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolutions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win"

???
I got this copy from the library, but I am ordering one so I can cut this page out and frame it.

ChaoticMissAdventures "The faggots knew the first. Faggot ass-kicking is a time- honored spot of the men. But the faggots did not know about the second. They had never thought about winning before. They did not even know what winning meant. So they asked the strong women and the strong women said winning was like surviving, only better." 2d
