Description

A family embarks on a road trip from New York to the southwestern United States, driving through desert and mountains. Alongside them is a young girl who tells surreal knock-knock jokes, and her brother who educates and corrects his parents. Meanwhile, thousands of children are making perilous journeys north from Central America and Mexico. These two groups of migrants are brought together in a powerful and urgent story about what it means to be human in an inhuman world. Valeria Luiselli's novel intertwines the lives of these characters, creating a moving and thought-provoking exploration of family, migration, and survival. Through its vivid prose and masterful storytelling, Lost Children Archive sheds light on the complexities of the human experience, where hope and despair coexist alongside the search for safety and belonging.
