Lost & Found: A Memoir

"The grief story and love story that form the backbone of New Yorker staff writer Kathryn Schulz’s memoir are, in themselves, not extraordinary. Her father died at 74 after many years of ill health; 18 months earlier, she fell in love with the woman she would marry. But Schulz’s philosophical reckoning with losing and finding unlocks existential meaning out of the utterly mundane facts of human life. Lost & Found, is a call to remember that “we are here to keep watch, not to keep.”"
