Found by Davy Rothbart

A collection of Found magazine's best lost, tossed, and forgotten items, Found offers a fascinating glimpse into other people's lives.

Discarded valentines. Ransom notes. To-do lists. Diaries. Homework assignments. A break-up letter written on the back of an airsickness bag. Whether they are found on buses, at stores, in restaurants, waiting rooms, parking lots, or even prison yards, these items give readers an uncensored, poignant, and often hilarious peek into other people's lives. By collecting them in his hit magazine, Found (and its companion website, www.foundmagazine.com), Davy Rothbart has bewitched the nation with a surprising window into its heart and soul and turned his many readers into an army of sharp-eyed finders.

Found is chock-full of the latest and greatest of these finds, arranged in the style of the magazine, laying bare the tantalizing tales to be discovered in the trash we toss. By turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, Found is a mesmerizing tribute to everyday life and our eternal curiosity about our fellow human beings.

Davy Rothbart is the author of the national bestseller Found and the publisher of the same-named publication. He is the author of the story collection The Lone Surfer of Montana, Kansas, which he contributed to public radio's This American Life. He is a resident of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
