Reviews
Praise for Everything Lost Is Found Again "Subtle, witty, and well-observed, McGrath's narrative is a chronicle of spiritual growth and a memorable love letter to the remote African kingdom that stole his heart. A warmly humane memoir." - Kirkus Reviews "A wonderful book, keenly observed, a breezy, thought-provoking read. ... McGrath is a likable, curious guide, embracing whatever adventures come along." - Minneapolis Star-Tribune "An endearing combination of insightful commentary and sympathetic comedy. This is a book in the best tradition of travel writing. ... Laugh-out-loud moments are balanced by heart-warming interludes, and altogether, this is an illuminating and enjoyable read that reminds readers of the essential oneness of humanity." - Booklist "It is messy, often overwritten, sometimes jumbled. But above all it is joyful. McGrath tells his stories, even the tragic ones, with hope and humor--the greatest defenses against despair." - Asymptote

Synopsis
In Farewell Transmission , Will McGrath guides us on a rambling quest into the enlightenment of other lives. Funny and heartbreaking, intimate and galvanizing, these essays venture from Yemen to Lesotho to the Bronx and beyond. We find Caravaggio at an Arizona homeless shelter and meet Elvis in rural Canada. We encounter diamond miners and professional wrestlers, night watchmen and righteous ex-cons--those wilderness prophets too frequently cropped from the picture. This is a book of hiddenness: of secret lives and ghost stories and obscure passions. Whether he's unraveling the fraught history of a noose in Namibia or wandering the Driftless Area with a modern-day goatherd, McGrath is on an excavation into landscapes rarely seen. Like Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams and John Jeremiah Sullivan's Pulphead , these essays pulse with electric prose and vivid characters, seeking out the invisible forces that bind us across our wondrous and troubling planet. Farewell Transmission is a book about paying attention: to the concealed lives we encounter every day, and to the hidden worlds that exist within our own.

    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.
