"A taut, tart chronicle of family life, with its scattered joys and nonnegotiable sorrows." –Los Angeles Times"A radiant debut. . . . Smart and original [with] a Southwest so perfectly imagined the reader can smell the dust. . . . Marvelous." –The Philadelphia Inquirer"A seriously entertaining and probing novel." –The Washington Post"The Missing Person isn't a mystery yarn or a family gothic, a romance, or a satire of radical environmentalism. It's all of the above and then some. . . . Delicious." –Austin Chronicle"Alix Ohlin is a sensitive writer, alert to the look and feel of things, and to the comedies and contradictions of her characters' obsessions." –The New York Times Book Review
