You're saying \"I'm gone and you can't even be sure who it is that's gone, because you never knew me.\" \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixteen years ago, Joan Wickersham's father shot himself in the head. The father she loved would never have killed himself, and yet he had. His death made a mystery of his entire life. Using an index--that most formal and orderly of structures--Wickersham explores this chaotic and incomprehensible reality. 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, \u003ci\u003eThe Suicide Index\u003c\/i\u003e is, finally, a daughter's anguished, loving elegy to her father. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156033800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.63h x 5.25w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/27\/2009 pg. 49\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2009 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joan Wickersham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42506224861365,"sku":"9780156033800","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ddf9fb8e-7676-4e4f-9cbd-1414a87a6936.jpg?v=1668526980","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-suicide-index-9780156033800","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
