An enduring account of joy and sorrow from one of the great writers of our time The New Yorker's Kathryn Schulz winner of the Pulitzer Prize Our lives do indeed deserve and reward the kind of honest gentle brilliant scrutiny Schulz brings to bear on her own life. The book is profound and beautiful.-Marilynne Robinson author of Housekeeping and Gilead ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022-Oprah Daily The Washington Post Vogue Los Angeles Times The Philadelphia Inquirer BuzzFeed Esquire Chicago Review of Books Town & Country Electric Lit The Millions Lambda Literary The Rumpus Lit Hub The Week Kirkus Reviews Eighteen months before Kathryn Schulz's beloved father died she met the woman she would marry. In Lost & Found she weaves the stories of those relationships into a brilliant exploration of how all our lives are shaped by loss and discovery-from the maddening disappearance of everyday objects to the sweeping devastations of war pandemic and natural disaster from finding new planets to falling in love. Three very different American families form the heart of Lost & Found: the one that made Schulz's father a charming brilliant absentminded Jewish refugee the one that made her partner an equally brilliant farmer's daughter and devout Christian and the one she herself makes through marriage. But Schulz is also attentive to other more universal kinds of conjunction: how private happiness can coexist with global catastrophe how we get irritated with those we adore how love and loss are themselves unavoidably inseparable. The resulting book is part memoir part guidebook to living in a world that is simultaneously full of wonder and joy and wretchedness and suffering-a world that always demands both our gratitude and our grief. A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize Kathryn Schulz writes with curiosity tenderness erudition and wit about our finite yet infinitely complicated lives. Crafted with the emotional clarity of C. S. Lewis and the intellectual force of Susan Sontag Lost & Found is an uncommon book about common experiences.
