Among the Lost is a 2015 novel by Mexican author Emiliano Monge.
The novel is a love story between two human traffickers set in the jungles and wastelands of the Mexican–US border area. Eileen Battersby, writing for The Guardian, said "Monge balances the dour, apocalyptic brutality of Cormac McCarthy with lively, grim humour – evident in the exasperated exchanges – all of which makes the stark truths driving this flamboyant narrative a little easier to swallow".
The novel was translated into English by Frank Wynne and published by Scribe.
