World Book Club - Bryan Washington: Memorial

This month, in the next in our season celebrating The Exuberance of Youth, Harriett Gilbert and readers around the world talk to award-winning American writer Bryan Washington about his moving novel Memorial.

Benson, a Black day-care teacher and Mike, a Japanese-American chef, live together in Houston, but are beginning to wonder why they're a couple. When Mike flies off to visit his seriously ill, estranged father in Osaka just as his acerbic Japanese mother arrives for a visit, Benson is stuck looking after his boyfriend’s mother, in a very unconventional domestic set-up. As both men cope with their difficult circumstances they undergo life-changing transformations, learning more about love, anger, and grief than they had bargained for along the way.

Poignant and profound, Memorial is about family in all its strange forms, becoming who you're supposed to be, and the outer limits of love.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Bretton Wood System

Barely a month after the Normandy Landing in 1944, the allied powers were already thinking of what the post-world would look like.


One of the big issues was the creation of a monetary system that could replace the then abandoned gold standard. 


So, in at a resort in New Hampshire, representatives from 44 countries hammered out a new international monetary system that would govern the world for the next 25 years.


Learn more about the Bretton Woods System and how parts of it still influence the world today on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
