NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR ? "An epic road trip [that also] captures the unruly intimacies of marriage and parenthood... This is a novel that daylights our common humanity, and challenges us to reconcile our differences." -- The Washington Post

One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

In Valeria Luiselli's fiercely imaginative follow-up to the American Book Award-winning Tell Me How It Ends, an artist couple set out with their two children on a road trip from New York to Arizona in the heat of summer. As the family travels west, the bonds between them begin to fray: a fracture is growing between the parents, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet.

Through ephemera such as songs, maps and a Polaroid camera, the children try to make sense of both their family's crisis and the larger one engulfing the news: the stories of thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States but getting detained -- or lost in the desert along the way.

A breath-taking feat of literary virtuosity, Lost Children Archive is timely, compassionate, subtly hilarious, and formally inventive -- a powerful, urgent story about what it is to be human in an inhuman world.
