Lost Children Archive is a 2019 novel by writer Valeria Luiselli. Luiselli was in part inspired by the ongoing American policy of separating children from their parents at the Mexican-American border.[3] The novel is the first book Luiselli wrote in English.[3]
The novel won the 2020 Rathbones Folio Prize and the 2021 International Dublin Literary Award.[4][5] It was also longlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize[6] and the 2019 Women's Prize for Fiction.[7]
The novel details a cross-country journey from New York to Arizona in a car by a husband and wife, Mama and Papa, and their children, "the girl" and "the boy," both from previous relationships.[8][9] The novel incorporates fragments from the poetry of other poets, including from poems by Anne Carson, Galway Kinnell, and Augusto Monterroso.[2] The novel's climax, "Echo Canyon", consists of a single sentence that runs for 20 pages.[10][11] The novel ends with 24 Polaroid photos provided by Luiselli, credited to the novel's fictional stepson.[12]
