“Stunning. Doyle D. Calhoun’s The Suicide Archive brings together groundbreaking research, meticulous analysis, and, most importantly, a fully human approach to the most delicate of subjects.”
- Christopher L. Miller, Frederick Clifford Ford Professor of African American Studies and French, Emeritus, Yale University “The author-investigator skillfully draws the reader into an enthralling narrative, one in which the evidence and traces retrieved during forensic excursions into archives, images, words, and sounds gradually delineate the contours of The Suicide Archive. In doing so, Doyle D. Calhoun’s book offers an alternative historiography and an innovative reading of global literary history while engaging with art history, film, and performance.”
- Dominic Thomas, Madeleine L. Letessier Professor of French, University of California, Los Angeles
