Synopsis
Following up his 2007 best-seller, LAST NIGHT AT THE LOBSTER, Stewart O'Nan affirms why he has been called the "bard of the working class" with his latest slice of Midwestern life. SONGS FOR THE MISSING begins with the ruminations of Kim Larsen, a popular Ohio teenager on the verge of leaving her small town for college. Suddenly, Kim disappears without a trace, and the narrative gives way to search parties and police investigations, both public and private. In the process, we learn about the different facets of a complex girl, as everyone close to her--her parents, her boyfriend, her sister, and her friends--swoons to the song of Kim's loss. Page-turning and serious at once, this is a meticulously detailed portrait of a bereft community confronted with mystery.

Publisher's Note

Simultaneous.

Industry Reviews
"[An] unflinching look at an unraveling family." (starred review)
(09/22/2208)

"O'Nan ignores all these conventions in favor of an approach so mundane you can't believe it works, the thriller equivalent of watching blood dry. He's a connoisseur of waiting, and it's his discipline, his refusal to deviate even for a single sentence from the uneventful, dull terror of losing a child, that makes SONGS OF THE MISSING so troubling."
(11/23/2008)

"O'Nan has a remarkable ability to pinpoint the ways in which hope and suffering are intertwined....O'Nan is on a kind of mission to restore a simple, true sense of humanity to the novel."
(12/21/2008)
