J. Richard Osborn Not Long Ago Persons Found recensie en review
- “Refreshing. If one reads the novel as an allegory, it changes the reader’s perspective.” (North of Oxford)
- “Unique and intriguing. In Not Long Ago Persons Found, demonstrable evidence of facts does not serve as the bedrock of what is presented by authorities as the truth. These lessons, and this novel, are both important and timely.” (PopMatters)

Flaptekst van de roman van J. Richard Osborn
The body of a young boy is found floating in a city river with pollen in his lungs from a warm river valley far from the country where he died. Who is he? Why was he carrying only a library card and decorative clay bottle? How is it that he came so far, only to meet with a violent fate?
A biological anthropologist and her husband, the forensic team’s translator, are tasked by their agency to gather evidence from the far away country and deliver an explanation—preferably one that suits the political regimes of both countries. But as the scientists’ clandestine, parallel study of recent mass graves brings them closer to finding a link between the boy and “the disappeared,” the full forces of bureaucracy, fatalism, and forgetting are marshalled against them.
