Eighteen months before Kathryn Schulz's father died， she met the woman she would marry。 In Lost & Found， she weaves the story of those relationships into a brilliant exploration of the role that loss and discovery play in all of our lives。 The resulting book is part memoir， part guidebook to living in a world that is simultaneously full of wonder and joy and wretchedness and suffering--a world that always demands both our gratitude and our grief。 A staff writer at The New Yorker and winner of the Pulitzer Prize， Schulz writes with curiosity， tenderness， erudition， and wit about our finite yet infinitely complicated lives。 Lost & Found is an enduring account of love in all its many forms from one of the great writers of our time。
