paroof 's review for:
Lost Children Archive
by Valeria Luiselli
This beautifully written book seems to be something different to everyone who reviews it. While yes, it is overtly about immigration - to me, it's also about sound, and words, and documenting, and memories, and journeys.
It's exactly the kind of book I enjoy and also exactly the kind of book I probably wouldn't recommend to most. There is a plot, but it's mostly introspection.
It was a strange coincidence that while I was reading this book, the governor of Florida illegally lured and flew migrants and asylum seekers to Martha's Vineyard as a political stunt. This just underscored the ongoing plight of lost children I was reading about.
