Thanks to Stephanie for suggesting that I look into David Foster Wallace, a literary wunderkind who just hanged himself.

There might be the obvious angle of a very successful person … killing himself.

Then there is the genre of suicide in general–Hannibal poisoned himself, besides lots and lots of other interesting people.

Stephanie, were you thinking of a specific angle that might fit my book that I haven’t noticed yet? I will look into his life story a bit more….
