Lost & Found: A Memoir

"[A] deft, roving and elegantly written work ..."

"With quotations from a vast mine of sources --- including Roman mythology, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Plato and James Baldwin, to name just a few --- Schulz keeps her readers awake and alert to each small turn in this artfully grounded story ..."

"He's still there in her verve and curiosity, in her cleareyed ability not just to write about love, but to love."

"Overall, the narrative is somewhat philosophical and perhaps a little cerebral, as it discusses loss and seeking, but it's full of curiosity and a great deal of love and compassion that readers will relish."

"In an ocean of churning cynicism and despair, this is a winning bet."

"Schulz's reflections and insights often feel like the articulation of something dimly glimpsed and rarely acknowledged, but they spring out of what is, essentially, the story of a family bound by deep bonds of love ..."

"It is that philosophical turning over of loss and discovery that makes this memoir extraordinary, for it unlocks existential meaning out of the utterly mundane facts of human life ..."

"Discoursing knowledgeably and often with good humor on subjects that include etymology, poetry, natural history, psychology and more, Schulz displays a capacious intelligence matched only by her boundless curiosity and insight."

"Hers is a generous, conversational voice; the effect is like an intoxicating Oxbridge tutorial."

"[William] James is one of many writers, thinkers and poets, including Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop and Walt Whitman, whose words amplify Schulz's own often dazzling reflections on loss, discovery and the continuity of life."
