LOST & FOUND

Kathryn Schulz

A Memoir

"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 as if the world around me had been made anew." Helen Macdonald, author of H Is for Hawk and Vesper Flights
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 sufferinga 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. Kathryn Schulz is a staff writer at the New Yorker, who regularly contributes brilliant essays to the publication including "The Really Big One" on a potential earthquake in the Pacific Northwest for which she won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. Her book, Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error was published by Ecco Press in 2010. She has given two TED Talks: On Being Wrong, and Don't Regret Regret, and has recently been invited to contribute another.

Deeply moving, richly illuminating. Schulz is never anything but the very best company, speaking nuanced truths from and about the deepest reaches of the heart

"An extraordinary gift of a book, a tender, searching meditation on love and loss and what it means to be human. I emerged feeling a little as if the world around me had been made anew."

Kathryn Schulz has a singular way of turning a familiar idea around and around until it becomes cosmic, geological, wondrous. To read her is to be quietly amazed at hidden depths and historiesas if you were to discover a map of a continent written in the palm of your hand.
