- Synopsis
- Winner of the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize SeriesDisequilibria: Meditations on Missingness is a hybrid memoir that recounts the 1982 disappearance of the author&’s stepfather, James Edward Lewis, a pilot and Vietnam veteran. Recounting his family&’s experiences in searching for answers, Lunday interrogates the broader cultural and conceptual responses to the phenomenon of missingness by connecting his stepfather&’s case to other true-life disappearances as well as those portrayed in fiction, poetry, and film. In doing so Disequilibria explores the transience in modern life, considering the military-dependent experience, the corrosive effects of war, and the struggle to find closure and comfort as time goes by without answers.
