How I Committed Suicide

Grief-stricken after his wife's death in 1976, New York Times columnist C. L. Sulzberger threw himself into his work, only to lose even that consolation when he retires from the Times the following year. Alone, and suddenly unemployed, the journalist was forced to come to terms with the irreveocable changes in his life. In this reverie, his decision to commit suicide is rational and deliberate - death seems perferable to a life without purpose. There is but one remaining task: the education of his best friend and confidant, Christopher Beagle, who will, when the time comes, accompany his master into eternity. With Christopher in tow, C. L. Sulzberger embarks on a final series of travels through Europe, eventually returning to Spetsais, the beautiful Greek island where he wishes to die. How I Committed Suicide is at once a treatise on suicide and the ways it has been regarded throughtout the ages, a skillful travelogue, a celebration of the love between a man and his dog, and a powerful account of one man's attempt to deal with old age and the pain of loss. --- from book's dustjacket
