The true story of Connie Converse, a mid-century New York singer and songwriter who mysteriously disappeared, and one writer's quest to understand her life is explored in Howard Fishman's book "The Lost Song: The Search for Connie Converse."

One of the New Yorker's best books of the year, chosen by Pitchfork as one of the ten best music books of 2023, and shortlisted for the Plutarch Award, is Howard Fishman's superb examination of Connie Converse.
Connie Converse was a mid-century New York singer and songwriter who mysteriously disappeared in 1974. Fishman was determined to know more about her life and music, and after a dozen years of research, he expertly weaves a narrative of her life and music, and how it has come to speak to him as both an artist and a person.
The book is by turns a hopeful, inspiring, melancholic, and chilling story of dark family secrets, taciturn New England traditions, a portrait of 1950s Greenwich Village, of a visionary intellect and talent, and a woman who fiercely strove for independence when the odds were against her.
Fishman's writing is masterful, and he brings Connie Converse to life in a way that is both intimate and compelling. The book is a must-read for anyone who loves music, history, or storytelling.
