My Writing Elsewhere: On Lost Novels

To coincide with the U.S. publication of Jack Kerouac’s lost (and then found) novel, The Sea Is My Brother, I compiled a list of other notable lost novels for The Daily Beast, along with the stories behind their rediscovery.

Some of the manuscripts were lost for a reason (they weren’t that good), but others were true masterpieces the world lost in war, death, or other unfortunate circumstance.
