News at Eleven (Back Page): Though [Sarah] Manguso claims not to recall

all of her illness, she does know that after "the fourth or fifth hospitalization, I remember just lying in bed for hours every afternoon. I had too much to think about to do anything else. It must have looked as if I weren't doing anything, but I was very busy." Later, describing receiving infusions of gamma globulin, she writes; "I didn't know it at the time, but I was paying attention."
