Three genre-bending memoirs on the Longlist weave together the personal, political, and everything in between. In Lost & Found: A Memoir, Kathryn Schulz writes about losing her beloved father while simultaneously meeting her future wife, in a meditation on the interconnectedness of joy and grief. Schulz explores her own deeply-felt experiences with essayistic prose on universal everyday losses—a childhood toy, a letter, a wallet—revealing the oddities in the category of loss contrasted with the delight in the objects, new ideas, and connections that can be found throughout one’s life.
