This man was named Harris, and \u003ci\u003eThe Guardians\u003c\/i\u003e--written in the years after he escaped from a psychiatric hospital and ended his life--is Sarah Manguso's heartbreaking elegy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHarris was a man who played music, wrote software, wrote music, learned to drive, went to college, went to bed with girls. In \u003ci\u003eThe Guardians\u003c\/i\u003e, Manguso grieves not for family or for a lover, but for a best friend. With startling humor and candor, she paints a portrait of a friendship between a man and a woman--in all its unexpected detail--and shows that love and grief do not always take the shapes we expect them to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2648220\"\u003eSarah Manguso\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250024152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250024153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Manguso\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of a memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Two Kinds of Decay\u003c\/i\u003e; two books of poetry, \u003ci\u003eSiste Viator\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Captain Lands in Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e; and a short-story collection, \u003ci\u003eHard to Admit and Harder to Escape\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martins Press-3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42681883918573,"sku":"9781250024152","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_33c32339-8d3f-4d5d-9c63-79d2e5d7e6d9.jpg?v=1649713319","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-guardians-an-elegy-9781250024152","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
