Genom Mexiko tar sig barn med flyktingsmugglare mot gränsen till USA. I sina försök att korsa den omhändertas de av gränsvakter och sätts i fängelseliknande förvar, eller försvinner i öknen för gott. Samtidigt reser ett New York-par med sina två barn med bil genom USA, på väg mot Arizona och de områden som en gång Geronimo styrde.
Barnen leker och sjunger i baksätet, men utifrån samtalen i framsätet börjar de inse att deras föräldrar håller på att separera. Samtidigt rapporter radio allt tätare om de ensamkommande flyktingbarn vid gränsen.
Barn försvinner och glöms bort. De deporteras och familjer separeras, såväl historiskt i folkmordet på ursprungsamerikaner och i den ström av flyktingar som offrar allt för att ta sig från Centralamerika till USA, men också i familjen.
Ett litterärt mirakel.
- Aftonbladet
De förlorade barnen - ett arkiv är inte mindre än ett storverk. Valeria Luiselli har i denna roman lyckats skildra olika slags förluster och drömmar, utan att spekulativt jämföra eller blanda ihop dem. Hon har funnit allvaret i de litterära lekarna för att gestalta en av vår tids katastrofer.
- Sydsvenskan
Luiselli lyckas i denna bok förena en självbiografiskt färgad skilsmässoroman med ett essäistiskt reportage om en brutal koloniserings- och invandringspolitik: den lilla världen speglar sig i den stora och den stora tränger in i och splittrar den lilla. Inte för ett ögonblick känns detta konstruerat, utan bara självklart och oändligt vemodigt. Till sist återstår bara det hopp som ryms i barnens fantasier och en låda med blekta polaroidfotonfoton, en påminnelse om att barn alltför ofta glöms bort i de vuxnas värld.
- Dagens Nyheter
En ambitiös, snillrik och mångbottnad roman som Luiselli mästerligt skriver, ordnar och komponerar.

A moving, eye-opening polemic about the US-Mexico border and what happens to the tens of thousands of unaccompanied Mexican and Central American children arriving in the US without papers‘We are driving across Oklahoma in early June when we first hear about the waves of children arriving, alone and undocumented, from Mexico and Central America.

WINNER OF THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD AND THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZELONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE AND THE WOMEN’S PRIZEThe moving, powerful and urgent English-language debut from one of the brightest young stars in world literature Suppose you and Pa were gone, and we were lost. What would happen then? A family in New York packs the car and sets out on a road trip. A mother, a father, a boy and a girl, they head south west, to the Apacheria, the regions of the US which used to be Mexico. They drive for hours through desert and mountains. They stop at diners when they’re hungry and sleep in motels when it gets dark. The little girl tells surreal knock knock jokes and makes them all laugh. The little boy educates them all and corrects them when they’re wrong. The mother and the father are barely speaking to each other.Meanwhile, thousands of children are journeying north, travelling to the US border from Central America and Mexico. A grandmother or aunt has packed a backpack for them, putting in a bible, one toy, some clean underwear. They have been met by a coyote: a man who speaks to them roughly and frightens them. They cross a river on rubber tubing and walk for days, saving whatever food and water they can. Then they climb to the top of a train and travel precariously in the open container on top. Not all of them will make it to the border.In a breath-taking feat of literary virtuosity, Lost Children Archive intertwines these two journeys to create a masterful novel full of echoes and reflections – a moving, powerful, urgent story about what it is to be human in an inhuman world.

‘A summer book for life’ ALI SMITH‘Dazzles on every page’ KATIE KITAMURA‘I was utterly captivated’ KIRAN MILLWOOD HARGRAVE From the award-winning author of Lost Children Archive, Valeria Luiselli, comes a wondrous new novel about family, time and starting over. All I had to do, or so I thought, was to answer a simple question: How do I reinvent it, the story, our lives? A mother and a daughter take off on a road trip after the collapse of a marriage. Their journey begins in Sicily during a summer of rapidly-changing winds, volcanic rumbles and sudden tempests. How do you begin again, the mother wonders, if you got the beginning wrong? The trip soon becomes a quest for origins – not just through their family history, but also further back to a mythical and even geological past.With her daughter leaving childhood behind and her mother beginning to show signs of dementia, the narrator finds herself at a crossroads. She must now ask herself: How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family's memories made and what happens when they disappear?A road novel, a mother-daughter story, a radical portrait of starting over, in all its forms, Beginning Middle End offers an exhilarating testament to the power of the stories and the loves we hold most dear.‘What sets Valeria Luiselli’s new novel apart is its clarity, its immediacy, its vividness’ COLM TÓIBÍN, author of Long Island‘Beautiful, funny and tender … I loved it’ EMMA HEALY, author of Sweat‘An instant classic, Luiselli is at her bravest and most sincere’ SAMANTA SCHWEBLIN, author of Fever Dream‘I loved spending time with the women in Beginning Middle End, who soon began to feel like friends’ OCTAVIA BRIGHT, author of This Ragged Grace‘Luminous, reverberating and original – a novel to reckon with and to marvel at’ PAUL FARLEY, author of When It Rained for a Million Years

"Impossibly smart, full of beauty, heart and insight . . . Everyone should read this book."--Tommy OrangeFrom the two-time NBCC Finalist, an emotionally resonant, fiercely imaginative new novel about a family whose road trip across America collides with an immigration crisis at the southwestern border--an indelible journey told with breathtaking imagery, spare lyricism, and profound humanity.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 ten-year-old son. Because they were the last of something, 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": 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 Virginia to Tennessee, across Oklahoma and Texas--we sense they are on the brink of a crisis of their own. A fissure is growing 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 voices, blending texts, sounds, and images, Lost Children Archive is an astonishing 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.

A young mother in Mexico City, captive to a past that both overwhelms and liberates her, and a house she cannot abandon or fully occupy, writes a novel of her days as a translator living in New York. A young translator, adrift in Harlem, is desperate to translate and publish the works of Gilberto Owen, an obscure Mexican poet who lived in Harlem during the 1920s and whose ghostly presence haunts her in the city''s subways. And Gilberto Owen, dying in Philadelphia in the 1950s, convinced he is slowly disappearing, recalls his heyday decades before; his friendships with Nella Larsen and Federico García Lorca; and the young woman in a red coat he saw in the windows of passing trains. As the voices of the narrators overlap and merge, they drift into one single stream, an elegiac evocation of love and loss.
Valeria Luiselli''s debut signals the arrival of a major international writer and an unexpected and necessary voice in contemporary fiction.

From the author of Lost Children Archive: “Masterful…a novel in which people die many times just to wake up right where they left off.”―The Paris Review In Mexico City, a young mother is writing a novel of her days as a translator living in New York. In Harlem, a translator is desperate to publish the works of Gilberto Owen, an obscure Mexican poet. And in Philadelphia, Gilberto Owen recalls his friendship with Lorca, and the young woman he saw in the windows of passing trains. Valeria Luiselli''s debut signals the arrival of a major international writer and an unexpected and necessary voice in contemporary fiction. “An extraordinary new literary talent.”—The Daily Telegraph "In part a portrait of the artist as a young woman, this deceptively modest-seeming, astonishingly inventive novel creates an extraordinary intimacy…Youth, from unruly student years to early motherhood and a loving marriage—and then, in the book''s second half, wilder and something else altogether, the fearless, half-mad imagination of youth, I might as well call it—has rarely been so freshly, charmingly, and unforgettably portrayed. Valeria Luiselli is a masterful, entirely original writer.”—Francisco Goldman “Haunting…Luiselli plays with the idea of time and identity with grace and intuition." —Publishers Weekly “Lovely and eccentric…peppered with arresting imagery.”—The New York Times “Reminiscent of Roberto Bolano and Andre Gide, Luiselli navigates a dynamic, ghostly world between worlds, crisscrossing fact and fiction. Few books are as sure to baffle, surprise, and reward readers as the strange, shifty experiment that is Luiselli’s fiction debut.”―Booklist One of Electric Literature’s 25 Best Novels of the Year One of Largehearted Boy’s Favorite Novels of the Year

Grantland Book of the YearVol. 1 Brooklyn, A Year of Favorites, Jason DiamondBook Riot, 2014’s Must-Read Books from Indie Presses"Valeria Luiselli is a writer of formidable talent, destined to be an important voice in Latin American letters. Her vision and language are precise, and the power of her intellect is in evidence on every page."—Daniel Alarcón"I''m completely captivated by the beauty of the paragraphs, the elegance of the prose, the joy in the written word, and the literary sense of this author."—Enrique Vilas-MatasValeria Luiselli is an evening cyclist; a literary tourist in Venice, searching for Joseph Brodsky''s tomb; an excavator of her own artifacts, unpacking from a move. In essays that are as companionable as they are ambitious, she uses the city to exercise a roving, meandering intelligence, seeking out the questions embedded in our human landscapes.Valeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City in 1983 and grew up in South Africa. Her novel and essays have been translated into many languages and her work has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Granta, and McSweeney''s. Some of her recent projects include a ballet performed by the New York City Ballet in Lincoln Center; a pedestrian sound installation for the Serpentine Gallery in London; and a novella in installments for workers in a juice factory in Mexico. She lives in New York City.

"Humane yet often horrifying, Tell Me How It Ends offers a compelling, intimate look at a continuing crisis—and its ongoing cost in an age of increasing urgency." —Jeremy Garber, Powell's Books"Valeria Luiselli's extended essay on her volunteer work translating for child immigrants confronts with compassion and honesty the problem of the North American refugee crisis. It's a rare thing: a book everyone should read." —Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books"Tell Me How It Ends evokes empathy as it educates. It is a vital contribution to the body of post-Trump work being published in early 2017."—Katharine Solheim, Unabridged Bookstore"While this essay is brilliant for exactly what it depicts, it helps open larger questions, which we're ever more on the precipice of now, of where all of this will go, how all of this might end. Is this a story, or is this beyond a story? Valeria Luiselli is one of those brave and eloquent enough to help us see."—Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company"Appealing to the language of the United States' fraught immigration policy, Luiselli exposes the cracks in this foundation. Herself an immigrant, she highlights the human cost of its brokenness, as well as the hope that it (rather than walls) might be rebuilt."—Brad Johnson, Diesel Bookstore"The bureaucratic labyrinth of immigration, the dangers of searching for a better life, all of this and more is contained in this brief and profound work. Tell Me How It Ends is not just relevant, it's essential."—Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore

American Book Award Winner: A “moving, intimate” account of serving as a translator for undocumented children facing deportation (The New York Times Book Review). Nonfiction Finalist for the Kirkus PrizeFinalist for National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism Structured around the forty questions volunteer worker Valeria Luiselli translates from a court system form and asks undocumented Latin American children facing deportation, Tell Me How It Ends humanizes these young migrants and highlights the contradiction between the idea of America as a fiction for immigrants and the reality of racism and fear—here and back home. “Luiselli’s prose is always lush and astute, but this long essay, which borrows its framework from questions on the cold, bureaucratic work sheets with which she became so familiar (for example, ‘Did anything happen on your trip to the U.S. that scared or hurt you?’), is teeming with urgency…In this slim volume about the spectacular failure of the American Dream, she tells the stories of the unnamed children she’s encountered and their fears and desires, as well as her own family’s immigration story.” —Vulture “Worthy of inclusion in a great American (and international) canon of writing about migration.” –Texas Observer “A powerful indictment of American immigration policy, [Tell Me How It Ends] examines a system that has failed child refugees in particular.” —Financial Times “Masterfully blends journalism, auto/biography, and political history into a compelling and cohesive narrative. . . . Luiselli uses the personal to get political but smartly sidesteps identity politics to focus on policy instead.”—The Rumpus

Gustavo 'Highway' Sánchez is a man with a mission: he is planning to replace every last one of his unsightly teeth. He has a few skills that might help him on his way: he can imitate Janis Joplin after two rums, he can interpret Chinese fortune cookies, he can stand an egg upright on a table, and he can float on his back. And, of course, he is the world's best auction caller - although other people might not realise this, because he is, by nature, very discreet.Studying auctioneering under Grandmaster Oklahoma and the famous country singer Leroy Van Dyke, Highway travels the world, amassing his collection of 'Collectibles' and perfecting his own specialty: the allegoric auction. In his quest for a perfect set of pearly whites, he finds unusual ways to raise the funds, culminating in the sale of the jewels of his collection: the teeth of the 'notorious infamous' - Plato, Petrarch, Chesterton, Virginia Woolf et al.Written with elegance, wit and exhilarating boldness, Valeria Luiselli takes us on an idiosyncratic and hugely enjoyable journey that offers an insightful meditation on value, worth and creation, and the points at which they overlap.

In New Mexico, she is a young mother. Stuck in a marriage that's deteriorating, unable to shake the feeling that her house and belongings are trapping her, she is increasingly drawn to reflect on who she was before: when she worked as an editor in New York, rarely in her own apartment, always seeking new places to call home.As she folds time, seeking to inhabit her past, she begins to encounter ghosts. Time and again, a solitary man appears - Gilberto Owen - a lesser known poet of the Harlem Renaissance, and an obsession of her youth. He is living on the edge of Harlem's social scene at the beginning of the Great Depression, anticipating death, and tracing spectral visions of his own - among them, a young woman, travelling alone, on the subway.Valeria Luiselli's daring debut, Faces in the Crowd is a meditation on time, hauntings, and the elusive, transitory identities we assume.

Eine Mutter, ein Vater, ein Junge und ein Mädchen packen in New York ihre Sachen ins Auto und machen sich auf in die Gegend, die einst die Heimat der Apachen war. Sie fahren durch Wüsten und Berge, machen Halt an einem Diner, wenn sie Hunger haben, und übernachten, wenn es dunkel wird, in einem Motel. Das kleine Mädchen erzählt Witze und bringt alle zum Lachen, der Junge korrigiert jeden, der etwas Falsches sagt. Vater und Mutter sprechen kaum miteinander.Zur gleichen Zeit machen sich Tausende von Kindern aus Zentralamerika und Mexiko nach Norden auf, zu ihren Eltern, die schon in den USA leben. Jedes hat einen Rucksack dabei mit einem Spielzeug und sauberer Unterwäsche. Die Kinder reisen mit einem Coyote: einem Mann, der ihnen Angst macht. Sie haben einen langen Marsch vor sich, für den sie sich Essen und Trinken einteilen müssen. Sie klettern auf Züge und in offene Frachtcontainer. Nicht alle kommen bis zur Grenze.Mit literarischer Virtuosität verknüpft Valeria Luiselli Reise und Flucht zu einem vielschichtigen Roman voller Echos und Reflektionen, zu einer bewegenden und brandaktuellen Geschichte darüber, was Flucht und was Menschlichkeit bedeuten in einer Welt, die aus den Fugen geraten ist.

Una novel·la extraordinàriament emotiva sobre una parella que amb els seus dos fills, de cinc i deu anys, creua amb cotxe els Estats Units, de Nova York a Arizona. El seu destí: Apacheria, l''últim territori habitat pels apatxes, la tribu que està estudiant el pare. La mare, en canvi, està interessada en els milers de nens migrants que, sols i amb escàs suport, creuen la frontera mexicana i s''endinsen perillosament en el desert, vast i inacabable.Mentre travessen els canviants paisatges americans, de motel en motel, els pares s''adonen que una esquerda s''està obrint entre ells. Al seient del darrere, els dos fills juguen, canten i van escoltant les converses dels seus pares i les notícies, fins que, en la seva imaginació, la crisi migratòria i el genocidi dels indis s''entremesclen i els impulsen a iniciar una aventura de final incert.Luiselli escriu un relat commovedor —on tot és l''eco d''alguna altra veu— sobre la fragilitat dels vincles familiars, sobre com documentem i assimilem les nostres experiències i sobre què significa ser humà en un món injust i desigual.

I Mexiko City begrundar en ung tvåbarnsmor sin tid i New York då hon jobbade på ett litet bokförlag för att upptäcka latinamerikanska författare och rörde sig i kretsar av konstnärer, bohemer, udda karaktärer och främmande män som blev hennes älskare. En tid om vilken hon börjar skriva en roman. I New York var det särskilt en poet som fångade hennes uppmärksamhet och som hon börjar översätta till förlaget. Den nästintill bortglömde mexikanske poeten Gilberto Owen, som på 20-talet bodde i samma kvarter som hon själv i Harlem. Efterhand blir intresset till en besatthet och hon börjar se Owen skymta förbi på tunnelbanan och med honom snart också andra spöken, som Ezra Pound. Eller är det bara levande personer som liknar dem. Hennes liv flyter alltmer samman med Owens och då maken i hemmet i Mexiko City börjar läsa hennes roman om deras liv löses fiktion och verklighet upp i ett vackert, melankoliskt sönderfall av vardagens konkreta gränser. De tyngdlösa rör sig från New Yorks vindlande tunnelbanegångar till litteraturens oändlighet. Från ungdomens flyktiga kärleksmöten till familjelivets avsaknad av de samma. Mexikanska Valeria Luiselli förmår ojämförbart fånga läsaren genom att vända på våra förväntningar om vad som är verkligt.

Gustavo Sánchez Sánchez, kallad Highway, är en man med ett liv fullt av berättelser och märkliga historier, och en mun full med dåliga tänder. Det senare ska få en förändring då Highway kommit över Marilyn Monroes bländvita garnityr och har möjligheten att byta ut sina egna gulnande gaddar. För att lyckas med detta måste han först dock bege sig på en resa och sälja de tänder han redan har och som alla bär på en historia om sina tidigare ägare: Platon, Virginia Woolf, Borges med flera.
Historien om mina tänder är en lika fascinerande och intelligent som dråplig och underhållande roman om berättelsens nödvändighet och historieberättandets betydelse.
Valeria Luiselli är född 1983 i Mexico City och är sedan flera år bosatt i New York. Hon är översatt till över 20 språk och har medverkat i tidskrifter som The New Yorker, The New York Times, Granta, McSweeney s och i podden This American Life. Den lika vågade som geniala romanen Historien om mina tänder prisades som Årets bästa bok av New York Times, Buzzfeed och Flavorwire.
