Lost Children Archive
by Valeria Luiselli
"A family drives toward the border as the radio counts the missing children."
A husband, a wife and two children drive from New York to the Arizona borderlands, their marriage quietly dissolving as news reports of detained migrant children fill the car. Luiselli builds a road novel from archives, echoes and the children's own game of disappearance — formally dazzling and devastating.
