[November of the Soul 01] • November of the Soul

Written with the same graceful narrative voice that made his bestselling National Book Award finalist *The Big House* such a success, George Howe Colt's *November of the Soul* is a compassionate, compelling, thought-provoking, and exhaustive investigation into the subject of suicide. Drawing on hundreds of in-depth interviews and a fascinating survey of current knowledge, Colt provides moving case studies to offer insight into all aspects of suicide -- its cultural history, the latest biological and psychological research, the possibilities of prevention, the complexities of the right-to-die movement, and the effects on suicide's survivors.

Presented with deep compassion and humanity, *November of the Soul* is an invaluable contribution not only to our understanding of suicide but also of the human condition.
