Valeria Luiselli's recently published novel "The Archive of Lost Children" presents a dual narrative that connects a family's road trip from New York to the southern border of the United States with the ongoing refugee crisis. The story explores the experiences of a family with two children who embark on a journey packed into their car, navigating the landscapes from motels to deserts while grappling with deeper societal issues. The parents, deeply attuned to the sociopolitical realities of their surroundings, are engaged in quests of remembrance and empathy—one commemorating the legacy of Apache leader Geronimo and the other concerned with the plight of child refugees crossing the Mexican border.
