“Bryan Washington is a world-renowned author, lecturer, and researcher, and I am proud to count him among the distinguished alumni of our university." “I am thrilled a graduate of our outstanding English department has received this extraordinary international recognition,” said UH Provost Paula Myrick Short. Houston is about accepting people for who they are and being open to new experiences.”
Your neighbors are probably from a community you aren’t from. “Because Houston has no zoning, different people can have very different situations and live in close quarters. Even neighbors are wildly different from one another,” Washington said. “The narrators and protagonists of ‘ Lot’ are living singular experiences. “It’s a specific Houston I write about,” he told an interviewer with Literary Hub. Washington’s latest work focuses on the culture and flavors of life in Houston. He has written for publications ranging from The New York Times to Buzzfeed. It was just the latest acclaim for Washington, who has earned significant notoriety for both fiction and nonfiction. Washington earlier this month received the Swansea University Dylan Thomas Prize for the book. Houston is in his bones, reflected in his debut short story collection of life in Houston, “Lot: Stories.” He grew up here, graduated from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Arts in English and currently teaches in the English department at Rice University.
