Nobody Is Ever Missing, a Novel

Catherine Lacey talks about her novel Nobody Is Ever Missing, about a young woman who takes a one-way flight to New Zealand, abruptly leaving her stable but unfulfilling life in Manhattan. As her husband scrambles to figure out what happened to her, she sets off on an adventure—hitchhiking, being swept into the lives of strangers, and sleeping in fields, forests, and public parks.
