This is so moving and inspiring. Thank you! More than ten years ago, I encountered an academic who was perusing my then-current novel “Pulse” and disdainfully exclaimed, “oh no, not another book about suicide!” She failed to appreciate that some of us writers are interested in what drives meaning and also meaninglessness for humans. It is always a central question for me.
Thank you! It came out with Key Porter books in 2010, the year before the publisher went bankrupt 😢 but the academic’s comment harkened to my first novel This Place Called Absence published by Turnstone Press. Pulse was reissued by Ethos Books in 2014.

I don’t know “Pulse” but will search it out

Oh, this is beautiful! Just what I needed today. Thanks
Thanks for reading. Hope your day has improved though I know it’s been a sad week.
