The Book of Malcolm by Fraser Sutherland
A memoir of a familys resilience and its odyssey through the medical system, and an attempt to give dignity and meaning to a life cut mysteriously short. Fraser Sutherland, the late Canadian poet, wrote this memoir after his son, Malcolm, died suddenly at twenty-six after having suffered from schizophrenia.
Part elegy, part existential howl, The Book of Malcolm is an investigation of a beloved child's life, of the moods and registers of his mental illness, and of the sometimes harrowing family moments* from the Foreword by Carmine Starnino *
The Book of Malcolm makes the mundane moments of family and of lived, shared experience shine beautifully. That Sutherland loved his son, and that family is a complicated blessing, are made achingly clear. * Winnipeg Free Press *
