Literary Roadhouse: One Short Story, Once a Week

Discussion Notes: Foster

This week’s story: Foster by Bryan Washington

Next week’s story: The Specialist’s Hat by Kelly Link

Rated: EXPLICIT

Gerald, Andy and Anais discuss “Foster” by Bryan Washington, a story of a man estranged from his brother, struggling with his boyfriend, and refusing to name a cat. The story is explicit and so is this episode. The explicit nature of the story was a bit of a turn off for Gerald, but all three hosts enjoyed digging deep into this iceberg of a story. Scratch beneath the story, and there’s a lot to chew on.
