O knihe

Eighteen months before her beloved father died, Kathryn met Casey, the woman who would become her wife. Lost & Found weaves together their love story with the story of losing Kathryn's father in a brilliant exploration of the way families are lost and found and the way life dispenses wretchedness and suffering, beauty and grandeur all at once. So much has been written about loss - and Schulz writes with painful clarity about the vicissitudes of grieving her father - but here she writes about the vital phenomenon of finding.

The book is organized into three parts: 'Lost', which will explore the sometimes comic, sometimes frustrating, sometimes heartbreaking experience of losing things, grounded in Kathryn's account of her father's death; 'Found', which examines the experience of discovery, from new ideas to new planets, grounded in her story of falling in love; and finally, 'And', which contends with the way these events happen in conjunction and imply the inevitable: life keeps going on, not only around us but beyond us and after us.

Kathryn Schulz has the ability to measure the depth and breadth of human experience with unusual exactness and then to articulate the things all of us have felt but have been unable to put into language. Lost & Found is a work of philosophical interrogation as well as a story about life, death and the discovery of one great love just as she is losing another.
