Nobody Is Ever Missing

In "Nobody Is Ever Missing," Elyria leaves her unfulfilling life in Manhattan for a one-way flight to New Zealand, embarking on a surreal journey filled with risky encounters as she grapples with her inner turmoil. While her husband searches for her, Elyria confronts her haunting past, including her sister's death, and wrestles with questions of identity and existence. Catherine Lacey's vivid prose captures Elyria's spiraling emotions and the complexities of human anxiety, blending mordant humor with deep introspection in a tale reminiscent of Haruki Murakami and Amelia Gray.
