Lost & Found: A Memoir

Exploration of love, loss, and being human.

If you've ever found beauty amid the complexities of life, treating both joy and sorrow as inseparable dance partners, then "Lost & Found" could resonate deeply with you. Kathryn Schulz's memoir is like a map, charting the terrain of the heart through the peaks of love and the valleys of grief, all while maintaining a sense of wonder. Her experiences may be uniquely hers—intertwining loss, love, and the birth of new family bonds—but the emotions she explores are universally human. This book promises to touch your soul with its poignant and thoughtful prose.

Description

An extraordinary gift of a book, a tender, searching meditation on love and loss and what it means to be human. I wept at it, laughed with it, was entirely fascinated by it. I emerged feeling a little as if the world around me had been made anew. Eighteen months before Kathryn Schulz's father died, she met the woman she would marry. In Lost & Found, she weaves the story of those relationships into a brilliant exploration of the role that loss and discovery play in all of our lives. 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, Schulz writes with curiosity, tenderness, erudition, and wit about our finite yet infinitely complicated lives. Lost & Found is an enduring account of love in all its many forms from one of the great writers of our time.
