OP This inward life of literary figures--I wonder whether a higher percentage of literary artists commit suicide than in the other arts?
But that's not my question. My question is: Who are some of the notable writers who've committed suicide? And how did they do it?
I can think of Plath and gas; Hemingway and the gun; Sexton and I don't know how; Wolfe drowned herself; and did Jack London drink his own urine? (That London story I heard when in sixth grade, so I doubt it's true.)
It's a lugubrious topic--and I'm not bringing it up casually, but because I'm really wondering about literature and artists and which ones committed suicide that I've never heard about.
Thanks for any input here,
WW
