Lost Child Archive

“Best Books of 2019” – TIME, Vulture, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair

“… Luiselli not only tells stories, she offers us new ways of seeing.” – Entertainment Weekly

A road stretching from New York to Mexico... A documentarian and documentarian couple who create sound inventories travel towards the border, taking their children with them. The woman is trying to record the echoes of two lost immigrant girls, who do not know what happened to them after they crossed the border, and the man is trying to record the echoes in the lands where the spirits of the Apaches still wander. This road, which goes from deserted motels to secluded bars to the heart of the continent, will add the lost sounds of the past to the present and draw different routes for passengers.

The Lost Child Archive covers a wide route from east to west, from one end of America to the other, and creates an inventory of the spirit of the age with its surprises, truths and miracles that leave its readers breathless. It is such an archive that it not only shows the disintegration of a family, the impasses of a relationship and the strength of the bond of brotherhood, but also contains the document and story of the people and humanity who crashed into the walls of the terrifying panorama of Western civilization, the prices we paid to survive, the losses and the gaps left behind by losses.

While our mothers teach us to speak and the world teaches us to remain silent, this powerful novel by Valeria Luiselli is an unforgettable book with its original voice and sounds that scream with all its might; Perhaps one of the most valuable works of recent years.
