The guardians: an elegy, by Sarah Manguso



A very short remembrance of Harris, Manguso’s friend, who after a troubled life, managed to walk out of a mental facility and throw himself in front of a train.  The author, herself, has suffered from mental problems, including a condition caused by psychotropic drugs that she feels contributed to his suicide.  A very personal book, perhaps better kept that way.  111 pp.
