Book Overview
My Three Suicides: A Success Story (Memoir) Hugh Gilmore has been a teacher, an anthropologist who studied monkeys, a drama critic, a newspaper columnist, novelist and rare book seller. Now he's written about what it's like for a man to be both son and father while searching for the wisdom to do either of those tasks well. A stirring, humorous and compassionate tale about turning from boy to man while seeking refuge from nuns, priests, poverty, shame, his drunken father and his religion-besotted mother. Told by an author who tried religion, bookishness, philosophy and sex before discovering the simple beauty of trust, love, and commitment. It is a tale of sadness, understanding, laughter and woe that ends with a death and a birth and a new life. An honest, amusing and beautiful book.
