It's hard to say if "Lost & Found" overflows more with the author's exquisitely expressed emotions or with her dazzling erudition. Suffice it to say there's more of both than one often finds in a season's worth of literature, much less in one slender, intimate memoir.

This powerful, gorgeous book does more than its part to correct that imbalance.
