Audio Book Summary

“Mr. B. Russell Herts, c/o International Magazine, New York City. Under separate cover I am sending you a record of a young man who is about to commit suicide. My only object is that it may help…to ease the way for some who come after…. I do not sign this, but you may verify my death by communicating with Mr. ——, whom I am writing to-day, so that he may look after my effects in New York.”

The body of a well-dressed young man was found off Manhattan Beach, Sept. 28, 1913. In his pockets a torn photograph of Strindberg and receipts for three registered letters were found. These receipts were traced to Mr. Herts and to friends in Toronto, one of whom identified the body on Oct. 2d as that of Wallace E. Baker. –From the book’s Forward.

    The narration is on point, and made the book even more enjoyable.

    Can't say I don't sympathize with a lot of the sentiment in this diary. But, did the narrator burp? The lack of QC at Librivox is astonishing. I feel like it should have been read with affecting dread, not as though it were just churning through the words on the paper.

    I'm a little concerned how he and I have shared similar views in topics like math, philosophy, sex, and suicide. Good book, short and sweet.
