A reporter embarks on an investigation of a string of unconnected suicideswhich then leads into an exploration of the phenomenon of suicide itselfin this elegant existential novel, the third and final volume of Antonio Di Benedettos Trilogy of Expectation.
A stymied reporter in his early thirties embarks on an investigation of three unconnected suicides. All he has to go on are photos of the faces of the dead. Other suicides begin to proliferate, while a colleague in the archives sends him historical justifications of self-murder by thinkers of all sorts: Diogenes, David Hume, Emile Durkheim, Margaret Mead. His investigation becomes an obsession, and he finds himself ever more attracted to its subject as it proceeds.
The Suicides is the third volume of Antonio Di Benedettos Trilogy of Expectation, a touchstone for Roberto Bolaño and deemed one of the culminating moments of twentieth-century fiction by Juan José Saer. Following Zama (set during the eighteenth century) and The Silentiary (set during the 1950s), this final work takes place in a provincial city in the late 1960s, as Argentina plummets toward the Dirty War.
