Specificatii
When Marcia Aldrich's friend took his own life at the age of
forty-six, they had known each other many years. As part of his
preparations for death, he gave her many of his possessions,
concealing his purposes in doing so, and when he committed his
long-contemplated act, he was alone in a bare apartment.In
Companion to an Untold Story, Aldrich struggles with her own
failure to act on her suspicions about her friend's intentions. She
pieces together the rough outline of his plan to die and the
details of its execution. Yet she acknowledges that she cannot
provide a complete narrative of why he killed himself. The story
remains private to her friend, and out of that difficulty is born
another story-- the aftershocks of his suicide and the author's
responses to what it set in motion.This book, modeled on the type
of reference book called a companion, attempts to find a form
adequate to the way these two stories criss-cross, tangle, knot,
and break. Organized alphabetically, the entries introduce,
document, and reflect upon how suicide is so resistant to
acceptance that it swallows up other aspects of a person's life.
Aldrich finds an indirect approach to her friend's death,
assembling letters, objects, and memories to archive an ungrievable
loss and create a memorial to a life that does not easily make a
claim on public attention. Intimate and austere, clear eyed and
tender, this innovative work creates a new form in which to
experience grief, remembrance, and reconciliation.
