Synopsis

We've all found things in random places - an undelivered message, a heart's deepest secret confessed, a random doodle lying on the floor, a shopping list and picked it up to wonder about the people and the story behind it.Found is a magazine that collects items that have been lost, dropped, cast aside or simply forgotten in a rush, and makes them found again. With no limit on what it could be, every item tells a part of a different story, but they are all fascinating, whether they are hilarious or sad, beautiful or aggressive, or just utterly, inexplicably random, and they all offer a glimpse into the life of someone, somewhere. This book simultaneously appeals to the curious, nosy side in all of us and yet is a moving, captivating collection that reminds us what being human is all about.

Author Bio
When returning to his car one night, Davy Rothbart found a mistakenly delivered note from an obviously disgruntled woman on his windscreen, with amusing, yet telling contents. Keeping it, he and his friends later discovered that they all had similar items and thus the idea for the magazine was started. Davy has a huge profile in the United States and has appeared on several TV shows, from David Letterman to Good Morning America. He does a yearly three-month tour of the United States performing in arts centres and bookshops.
