Margit is at the point in life when things should have cohered. She's married; she's got a degree; she's got friends who throw good parties; and yet she's still adrift, moving from one precarious job to the next. One day, a picture of some Mexican students catches her eye in a newspaper. The group of 43 had been ambushed by police in 2014 while traveling on a bus and disappeared without a trace. And so begins Margit's obsession with the "desaparecidos." As she heads off down the rabbit holes and culs-de-sac of Google Maps, her idiosyncratic quest to uncover the truth of what happened begins to eclipse pretty much everything else. From a sharp and singular new literary voice, History Keeps Me Awake at Night captures the texture of life in a friction-less city with drop-pin accuracy while asking: Is it possible to recover what is lost without losing oneself?
