Description

In 2008, one of Sarah Manguso's oldest friends eloped from a New York City psychiatric hospital and threw himself in front of a train; the last ten hours of his life are unaccounted for. In this new memoir, Manguso continues her attention to illness, suffering, and time's relentless forward momentum, which prevents total recovery from grief. As she did brilliantly in her first memoir, The Two Kinds of Decay, Manguso explores the insufficiency of explanation and the necessity of the imagination in making sense of anything at all.

Author Biography:

Sarah Manguso is the author of the memoir The Two Kinds of Decay the short-story collection Hard to Admit and Harder to Escape, and two books of poetry, Siste Viator and The Captain Lands in Paradise.
