The Dedalus Book Of Literary Suicides by Gary Lachman
A provocative anthology that examines famous writers' suicides, combining biographical sketches, critical readings and cultural commentary to explore how despair, temperament and literary myth-making intersected in their lives and work. The essays probe motives, artistic legacies and the romanticized myths surrounding self-destruction, asking how mortality and myth inform the texts left behind and our understanding of genius and tragedy.
