Around him, others live and thrive and die in Houston’s myriad neighborhoods: a young woman whose affair detonates across an apartment complex, a ragtag baseball team, a group of young hustlers, hurricane survivors, a local drug dealer who takes a Guatemalan teen under his wing, a reluctant chupacabra.  Bryan Washington’s sharp, viscerally drawn world vibrates with energy, wit, raw power, and the infinite longing of people searching for home.
