The Lost Train and Other Stories is a collection of stories rooted in memory, place, family, and the strange distances between where we come from and where we find ourselves.
Moving through landscapes both intimate and haunted, Eduardo R. del Rio writes about people carrying the weight of the past while trying to make sense of the present. These are stories of departures and returns, of families and strangers, of roads taken and lives that might have been. Throughout the collection, ordinary moments open unexpectedly into mystery, loss, tenderness, and wonder.
Like the railroad tracks disappearing around the bend on its cover, The Lost Train and Other Stories follows lives toward destinations that are never entirely certain—and asks what remains with us after the train, the town, the person, or the moment has disappeared.
