Teenage Suicide: Edouard Levé, A Suicide’s Anatomy
Laufer, Laurie
Teenage Suicide: Edouard Levé, A Suicide’s Anatomy - 2010.
9
Suicide is an enigmatic act. It is and insensate act performed outside the boundaries of common sense. What makes a subject unable to escape the dead-end of the following alternative: “your money or your life.” How can one go beyond the question of the impossible choice? The being or the meaning? Edouard Levé committed suicide after writing a book titled Suicide, which dealt with one of his youth friend’s suicide. Through his writing, he tries to clear the very mystery of one’s existence and of the doppelganger’s which emerge like an imaginary echo. Wouldn’t that be, by the way, one of the questions raised by most suicides?
