Suicide is not a fictionalized account of Lev 's death; in some
respects it is a negative image of it. You didn t leave any letters
for loved ones to explain your death, he writes, although Lev
himself reportedly did. Lev 's art and life nonetheless converge,
fuse, and end brutally together. Ironically, Suicide represents a
new departure for Lev : his previous books could be considered
conceptual conceits, whereas Suicide is something else, a purely
literary work. At the end of his life, Lev had by no means
exhausted his art. --Hugo Wilcken
A astonishing novel. --Zadie Smith, author of White Teeth
A book that will never disappear, a book too provocative ever to be
forgotten. --Jacques Morice

Jean Rolin is a companion with whom one can walk as one hears his
clear and dispassionate voice, his wry humor . . . One day I ll
have to tell this story, the story of my heroic death and the
ensuing revolution, he announces on the final page. I look forward
to this.--Christian Authier
