RaveThe Masters ReviewThis dreamlike gap in Joy’s memory from childhood provides a texture to Find Me that permeates the novel ... The second half of Find Me maintains the same dreamlike quality as the first, becoming increasingly surreal as Joy heads toward Florida. A long stay at a backcountry \'Mansion\' in Tennessee feels ghostlike and illusory ... Find Me isn’t a commentary on the fluidity or reliability of memory, but is more a rumination on how memories act as anchors to the present ... Laura van den Berg brings a thoughtful and quiet look to an apocalyptic landscape ... Her work marries surreal elements with the real world in a restrained way, producing moments in the novel where the two feel fully joined. Van den Berg’s talents as a writer are observed in her minimal and direct prose, the interiority of her characters, and the limitlessness of her imagination.
