Erin Manning’s The Perfect Mango grew from a concentrated period of writing in 1994, when she completed nineteen chapters in nineteen days. First published as a book in 2019, the work returns to those writings as part of an exploration of violence, experience and the possibility of living differently.
The writing connects the process of composition with attempts to understand a difficult personal history. Its attention to rhythm and experience gives form to states that resist easy description. The later publication places the earlier work before readers while retaining its place in the author’s developing account of writing and life.
