The Lost Album (1995) is a story of division in modern America and at the same time a vision of social restoration. The novel brings together stories of people who, not knowing about each other, are looking for the same thing. But as they all tell their stories - like musical variations on themes such as feelings of alienation or belonging, unity and diversity - we learn what they are looking for: a mysterious album. The climax of the novel is a real tour de force, the story of the clash between the community of the city of Isaura and An Ozark industrial company that supports him and betrays him at the same time. Exploring the intersection of ecology and social justice, The Lost Album is inclusive and inventive—true biodiversity captured in literary form.
