Part Michael Chabon's The Mysteries of Pittsburgh and part
Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise, Lost and Found will appeal to
anyone who's experienced the push-pull nature of love and the
thrill of self-discovery. Lost and Found is partly a story about
loss: of love, innocence, parents, and children. But it is perhaps
more a story about finding those same things, if in different
forms. The plot centers around two men--Jacob, a father-less
freshman entering college, and Yuri, Jacob's aging but devilish
music history professor--who discover a mysterious, unsigned piano
score that Yuri is convinced has great historic, and likely
monetary, value. All is not golden, however, as Jacob and Yuri soon
realize that someone else is onto their discovery. On the outs with
a cunning and vengeful University Dean, Yuri insists on pushing
forward in order to save his career, but Jacob has his doubts about
whether the escapade will be worth it. Nevertheless, he has grown
close to Yuri, and decides to leap before looking, a decision that
will impact his academic, social, and romantic well-being in
unexpected ways. Their lives now entwined, Yuri and Jacob attempt
to uncover the score's origins, along the way discovering much
about life, loss, and ultimately, love.
