Straight To Hell: 10 Art Suicides

By Namida King

Straight To Hell examines ten case histories of suicide in the 20th century. These acts of self-annihilation, committed by artists, writers, and philosophers, stand as the final testaments of individuals whose vision would ultimately drive them to oblivion. Contributors including cultural historian Stephen Barber, journalist Jack Sargeant and film-maker Peter Whitehead look back in detail on the enigmatic, often bizarre suicides of: Yukio Mishima, Mark Rothko, Harry Crosby, Guy Debord, Pierre Molinier, Hart Crane, Unica Zurn, Gilles Deleuze, Donald Cammell, and Rudolf Scwarzkogler. Illustrated.

[Francisco Rogelio Samour Hernández · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great etertaining read and very informative. It provides with tales of a part of history that we ignore most of the time.
