Reviews

'Francesca Di Marco’s study is thus timely and offers a much-needed contribution to an emerging English-language literature on mental health and illness in modern Japan...Di Marco also offers the important observation—which appears to hold cross all four phases of her chronology—that between cultural narratives and the universalizing biological one, the individual meaning of each suicide appears often to have been lost.' Christopher Harding, University of Endinburgh The Journal of Japanese Studies Vol. 44
