American Suicide

Written in a schizophrenic blend of poetry and prose, American Suicide is the darkly-comic debut novel by Joe Musso. When the narrator is told of his friend's attempted suicide, he moves in to help him recuperate, and to keep him safe from himself--all while the narrator himself wishes to kill himself. American Suicide is filled with memorable characters and surreal, humorous, and harrowing scenes of suffering and social critique. If Jack Kerouac and Sylvia Plath had a literary lovechild, there's reason to believe it would be similar to American Suicide.Musso, Joe is the author of 'American Suicide', published 2003 under ISBN 9780972630139 and ISBN 0972630139.
