Leve sent his manuscript for "Suicide" to his publisher and afterwards killed himself. The book itselfs portrays the life of a man who kills himself and then retells his life afterwards. It's written in second person, too. Pretty good book.

Another good author who offed herself was Ann Quin, British 1960s literature.

>Levi died in 1987 from injuries sustained in a fall from a third-story apartment landing. His death was officially ruled a suicide, but some have suggested that the fall was accidental.
