Seinfelt, a writer living in Pennsylvania, begins with the suicide of Constance Woolson in 1894, and covers the stories of dozens of authors, through the modern suicide of authors such as Jerzy Kosinski, Michael Dorris, and Eugene Izzi. He also investigates references to suicide in literature, both in the novels of those who took their own lives and those who decided to live, arguing that many authors contemplated ending their lives and expressed their obsessions with self-destruction in their art. |
