Description
Written with the same graceful narrative voice that made his bestselling National Book Award finalist "The Big House" such a success, George Howe Colt's "November of the Soul" is a compassionate, compelling, thought-provoking, and exhaustive investigation into the subject of suicide. Drawing on hundreds of in-depth interviews and a fascinating survey of current knowledge, Colt provides moving case studies to offer insight into all aspects of suicide -- its cultural history, the latest biological and psychological research, the possibilities of prevention, the complexities of the right-to-die movement, and the effects on suicide's survivors.
Presented with deep compassion and humanity, "November of the Soul" is an invaluable contribution not only to our understanding of suicide but also of the human condition.
