Full Description
The characters—young and old, queer and straight, contemporary and historical—who inhabit Lynn C. Miller's stories often find themselves in defining moments and crisis situations. As they search through the archives of memory, truth, and experience, they seek to understand not only the past and present but themselves.
Stretching the definition of "archive," Miller builds interconnected webs that surprise, much like the seemingly random papers collected in a box of materials. Fraught relationships, mistaken identities, mysterious disappearances, and the search for love play out in these stories. Friendships are celebrated, ex-husbands cross the line, and Gertrude Stein attempts to write her memoir.
An unusual collection that proves greater than the sum of its parts, The Lost Archive will haunt readers with the intensity of its vision.
