Lost Children Archive by Valeria Luiselli

Rating: 7/10

This was interesting as a project, but wasn’t emotionally engaging for me, even with the harrowing subject matter. I felt like it was more of a cerebral project than an emotional one.

I admired the commentary on collecting, framing, and archiving, but I wasn’t invested in the story, not even in the story of the missing children.

It’s a clever book, and I thought it was nicely written, but I think there are more engaging books on this subject out there for me to find.
