How to Survive Death and Other Inconveniences by Sue William Silverman. Advance Reader Copy (eARC) included. No affiliate links included. You can read my full disclosure policy here.
This collection of thematically linked essays centres around Sue William Silverman's fear of death. Death is the ultimate unknown and Silverman has had good reason to fear the unknown throughout her life.
How to Survive Death and Other Inconveniences* does not shy away from the complexities of dealing with trauma in all its forms, particularly the trauma associated with sexual assault.
Silverman's writing is poetic and full of more humour than you might expect given the subject matter. But if there is one thing you should know about Silverman, apart from the fact that she is a survivor, it is that she isn't afraid of experimental writing. And she is bloody good at it.
How to Survive Death and Other Inconveniences by Sue William Silverman is published by University of Nebraska Press and is available in paperback and ebook format.
