| Annotation | As in his collection, "On aging", the author approaches the subject of suicide in a series of reflective literary essays, but more philosophical than sociological or psychological. "On suicide" is neither a defence of suicide nor an invitation to assisted suicide, but an analysis of the state of mind of those who are suicidal and who do commit suicide. The author defends the right and freedom of individuals to choose their own destiny. (RH). |
