Pulitzer Prize winning and New Yorker writer Kathryn Schulz‘ new book Lost and Found is one of the most unique books you may ever read.
Lost and Found is a memoir that tells the stories of the death or loss of Schulz’ beloved father and the love she found with the woman she met 18 months before her father died and would later marry.
The 244-page book has only three chapters but reads like poetry about loss and finding. It is a story of the full range of emotions and how complicated life really is.
Kathryn Schulz appears on Monday’s Smart Talk to discuss Lost and Found.
Kathryn Schulz talks with author Christopher McDougall about Lost and Found at a Midtown Scholar Bookstore event Wednesday, March 30 at 7 p.m.
