330 .. $a "From the acclaimed author of How to Sell-- and based on his viral Huffington Post
article-- comes a deeply intimate, insightful, and at times even funny portrait of
the suicidal mind, combining the author's personal experience with a philosophical,
literary, and journalistic inquiry into the subject..."--Publisher ; "The last time
Clancy Martin tried to kill himself was in his basement with a dog leash. It was one
of over ten attempts throughout the course of his life. But he didn't die, and like
many who consider taking their own lives, he hid the attempt from his wife, family,
coworkers, and students, slipping back into his daily life with a hoarse voice, a
raw neck, and series of vague explanations. In How Not to Kill Yourself, Martin chronicles
his multiple suicide attempts in an intimate depiction of the mindset of someone obsessed
with self-destruction. He argues that, for the vast majority of suicides, an attempt
does not just come out of the blue, nor is it merely a violent reaction to a particular
crisis or failure, but is the culmination of a host of long-standing issues. He also
looks at the thinking of a number of great writers who have attempted suicide and
detailed their experiences (such as David Foster Wallace, Yiyun Li, Akutagawa, Nelly
Arcan, and others), at what the history of philosophy has to say both for and against
suicide, and at the experiences of those who have reached out to him across the years
to share their own struggles. The result combines memoir with critical inquiry to
powerfully give voice to what for many has long been incomprehensible, while showing
those presently grappling with suicidal thoughts that they are not alone, and that
the desire to kill oneself-- like other self-destructive desires-- is almost always
temporary and avoidable."--Front jacket flap
