Correction by Thomas Bernhard

Only book you need.

Don't waste your time with the Mainlander meme or anything by Thomas Ligotti.

I haven't read them for some time, so I couldn't tell you all that he said about it, but Schopenhauer has some (what I remember to be) interesting thoughts on suicide. I haven't read The World as Will and Representation, but I know he wrote about it in Parerga and Paralipomena.

Might be of interest, but the article itself was great imo:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/12/books/review/a-survivor-of-suicide-writes-of-his-state-of-eternal-dying.html

Bonus points for DFW heads. Absolutely heartbreaking that he had the spirit to save someone else's life.

Also, continuing, have always loved Mary Karr's tribute to him:

One of these things is not like the others.
This one is literally just an ex-chad whining about the consequences of his own actions and killing himself over it.
