Publisher Marketing:Lyrical insights from an immigrant son navigating love, death, acceptance, and belonging along the United States and Mexico border.

With a narrative voice that translates the unforgettable into something lyrical and magical,The Lost Nostalgiasdemonstrates Esteban Rodrguez’s exploration of familial moments that move between the tragic, the trivial, and the triumphant. A mother’s decaying teeth lead to questions of self-care and beauty; a quinceaera becomes a meditation on masculinity; a visit to the bank illuminates a father’s existential fears; and a rave suddenly becomes a reflection on migration and survival. Because nothing is off the table under Rodrguez’s tender lens, everything and everyone becomes deserving of admiration, dignity, and love.
