Book Review “Lost Children Archive” by Porter Fox A mother and father set out with their two children, a boy and a girl, driving from New York to Arizona in the heat of summer. Their destination: Apacheria, the place the Apaches once called home. “Why Apaches?” asks the 10-year-old son. “Because they were the last of some- thing,” answers his father. In their car, they play games and sing along to music. But on the radio, there is news about an “immigration crisis and thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States, but getting detained — or lost in the desert along the way.” As the family drives — through Vir- ginia to Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas — we sense they are on the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is grow- ing between the parents, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet. They are led, inexorably, to a grand, harrowing adventure — both in the desert landscape and within the chambers of their own imaginations. Told through several compelling voic- es, blending texts, sounds and images, “Lost Children Archive” is an astonish- ing feat of literary virtuosity. It is a richly engaging story of how we document our experiences, and how we remember the things that matter to us the most. With urgency and empathy, it takes us deep into the lives of one remarkable family as it probes the nature of justice and equality today. Bright on Tuesday, June 4, at 1 p.m. in the library’s Bromley Room. Are we as self-sufficient as we can be? As we should be? What are the pleasures and pitfalls of doing it yourself? Join a free community conversation that inves- tigates why we strive to be makers and doers in a world that provides more con- veniences than ever before. Bright is an Oregon food educator and travel writer now based in Portland. She taught literature at the University of Or- egon, where she researched modernism and desire, led a faculty research group in the emerging discipline of food studies, and won a national pedagogy award for a team-taught, interdisciplinary class on bread. She holds a PhD from the University of California at Irvine and a Master Food Preserver certification from OSU Exten- sion. When she’s not out gathering seaweed or fermenting fruit, she might be found interviewing young farmers, old pirates and mad scientists.
