Memorial er et nærstudie af familie og kærlighed i alle dens former. En roman om fædre og sønner, intimitet og maskulinitet i det 21. århundrede fra en af de mest spændende nye stemmer i amerikansk litteratur. Benson og Mike er midt i tyverne og bor sammen i Houston. Mike er kok med japansk baggrund, Benson er sort og arbejder i en daginstitution. De har været sammen i nogle år, men står ved et vadested i deres forhold. Bedre bliver det ikke, da Mike finder ud af, at hans far, som forlod familien for mange år siden, er døende, og han beslutter sig for at tage til Osaka. Samtidig melder Mikes mor sin ankomst fra Japan, og Benson lades alene tilbage med Mikes kølige mor, Mitsuko, som han aldrig før har mødt. Romanen fortælles fra skiftevis Benson og Mikes perspektiv. I takt med, at Benson og Mike opdager nye sandheder om sig selv og deres familier, må de begge tage deres forestillinger om kærlighed og tilhørsforhold op til revision.

"Cam is living in Los Angeles and falling apart after the love of his life has died. Kai's ghost won't leave Cam alone; his spectral visits wild, tender, unexpected, and explosive. When Cam returns to his hometown of Houston, he crashes back into the orbit of his former best friend, TJ, and TJ's family bakery. TJ's not sure how to navigate this changed Cam, impenetrably cool and self-destructing, or their charged estrangement. Can they find a way past all that has been said--and left unsaid--to save each other?"--Provided by publisher.

Ian James Foster sets out from the doldrums of Naptown to find fame and fortune in the Big Apple, but found himself singing The Roomie Do Me Blues instead.

"Yea tho I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death." All I DIDN'T SAY is the conclusion of the Trilogy that began with "DILLIRGAF?" and "THE ROOMIE DO ME BLUES". Ian James Foster is faced with the greatest challenge of his life. ALL I DIDN'T SAY is a story of love, faith, hope and survival and triumph in the face of AIDS.

Life can be a real drag, but DILLIRGAF? "Do I Look Like I Really Give A Fuck?" No, I don't. Neither should you, for that matter. Life is a hell of a lot more than meets the eye. All you have to do is learn to look for it.
