Gradually, through Leve's casually obsessive, pointillist, beautiful ruminations, we come to know a stoic, sensible, thoughtful man who bears more than a slight psychological resemblance to Leve himself. But \u003ci\u003eSuicide\u003c\/i\u003e is more than just a compendium of memories of an old friend; it is a near-exhaustive catalog of the ramifications and effects of the act of suicide, and a unique and melancholy farewell to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920669524126,"sku":"ING-9781628976106","price":23.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781628976106.jpg?v=1782827543","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781628976106","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
