Reviews
""As a man who has lost numerous friends to suicide but never had the slightest inclination to commit such an act, I found this memoir lucid, informative, and darkly funny, while never losing touch with the disastrously misunderstood plague that is depression--a pain one cannot just snap out of at will. This book helps us understand those we have tragically lost and perhaps supplies hope for those who are vulnerable."" -Ian Graham Leask, author of The Wounded and other stories about sons and fathers
As a man who has lost numerous friends to suicide but never had the slightest inclination to commit such an act, I found this memoir lucid, informative, and darkly funny, while never losing touch with the disastrously misunderstood plague that is depression-a pain and debilitation one cannot just snap out of at will. This book helps us understand those we have tragically lost and perhaps supplies hope for those who are vulnerable. -Ian Graham Leask, author of The Wounded and other stories about sons and fathers
