Suicide can be a seductive anesthetic to put inexorable pain out for good-or it may spiral into a chaotic vortex of regret, deception, and agonizing despair.
I'll Never Commit Suicide Again is a magical realism novel exploring varied aspects of suicide through the viewpoint of Lucy, the main character, as she struggles to overcome her own forlorn dilemma. In a circuitous Dantean journey of self-discovery and redemption, her interactions with suicide children, guilt-ridden adults, political and religious martyrs, intrepid warriors, and physician-assisted suicide awaken her to diverse perspectives of the controversial issue of self-annihilation-and a life-changing realization of her own.
At a time when suicide rates have reached record-breaking numbers across the demographic spectrum, the approximately 98,000-word manuscript is a fictional exploration of the potentially fallacious delusion of suicide as a means to evade life's challenges and travails. The story employs philosophical, esoteric, and quantum physics elements to guide the narrative.
