It may be a far out thought, but might Wallace have ended it all after seeing that the hard intellectual work he had done laying out ways to improve the world was not producing positive effects?Dick Kladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11793395712483278104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-67232672480061273882015-09-10T14:30:01.772-04:002015-09-10T14:30:01.772-04:00You should read David Sedaris' essays.

What an interesting woman she was.<br /><br />Quite frankly, I don't need 1,000 pages of Liberal angst. Been there, done that, moved on. Read Charles Krautheimer's "Things That Matter" if you want to know how he and others evolved on most issues. Dr. Krautheimer is a wise man who once worked in Democratic campaigns and evolved into a Conservative position. I don't always agree with him only 99percent of the time. <br /><br />Also if you are looking for a great take on the history of the political, try Francis Fukuyama. The full citation of the book I just finished is on my blog.

Thanks for the tip for a new author to peruse. I have had two friends kill themselves, and it was traumatic for me in both cases. I agree with your premise about being unable to find a reason to keep on living.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
