The Suicide Index: Putting My Father's Death in Order Wickersham JoanPaperback
When you kill yourself, you kill every memory everyone has of you. The father she loved would never have killed himself, and yet he had. You're saying "I'm gone and you can't even be sure who it is that's gone, because you never knew me."Sixteen years ago, Joan Wickersham's father shot himself in the head.
Using an index--that most formal and orderly of structures--Wickersham explores this chaotic and incomprehensible reality. His death made a mystery of his entire life. Every bit of family history--marriage, parents, business failures--and every encounter with friends, doctors, and other survivors exposes another facet of elusive truth.
Dark, funny, sad, and gripping, at once a philosophical and deeply personal exploration, The Suicide Index is, finally, a daughter's anguished, loving elegy to her father.
