Washington deftly distinguishes the voices of his two young narrators, but they share a resilient compassion for these older relatives who treat them with such exasperation and disdain. In a disposable society, “Memorial” is a testament to the permanence of filial connections, a clear-eyed acknowledgment that our relatives don’t always behave nicely, but they’re with us for life.

InsideHook profiled author Colin Dickey.
“I got really interested in exploring these things, which are oftentimes treated as dead ends and garbage and nonsense, to try and understand the way in which that kind of stuff nevertheless manages to impact our lives.” So says writer Colin Dickey when asked about the roots of his own work in nonfiction. Dickey is among a handful of writers writing comprehensively researched, empathically composed work about subjects heretofore confined to science fiction stories and the Mysteries of the Unknown series.
