What Went Missing and What Got Found by Fatima Shaik
What Went Missing and What Got Found is collection of magical short stories about the inner lives of outsiders: religious zealots, day-dreaming musicians, unlikely heroes and others who inhabit an Afro-Creole neighborhood in New Orleans. Among them are a mute woman who believes that the photos of starving children in the newspaper are speaking to her, a loading-dock worker who sits in a cemetery and ponders the meaning of life, and a man who finds his perfect match only to be accused of her murder.
An elderly couple clings together as flood waters rise, and a lone fireman fights off a pack of wild dogs before the book concludes with a young woman who returns home and discovers messages in the storm's debris that illuminate her past and future.
