In Dostoevsky as Suicidologist, Amy D. Ronner illustrates how
self-homicide in Fyodor Dostoevsky's fiction prefigures Emile
Durkheim's etiology in Suicide as well as theories of other
prominent suicidologists. This book not only fills a lacuna in
Dostoevsky scholarship, but provides fresh readings of Dostoevsky's
major works, including Notes from The House of the Dead, Crime and
Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov. Ronner
provides an exegesis of how Dostoevsky's implicit awareness of
fatalistic, altruistic, egoistic, and anomic modes of
self-destruction helped shape not only his philosophy, but also his
craft as a writer. In this study, Ronner contributes to the field
of suicidology by anatomizing both self-destructive behavior and
suicidal ideation while offering ways to think about prevention.
But most expansively, Ronner tackles the formidable task of forging
a ligature between artistic creation and the pluripresent social
fact of self-annihilation.
