Author: Elizabeth Leake
After Words: Suicide and Authorship in Twentieth-Century Italy by Elizabeth Leake is a scholarly examination of how the suicides of four prominent Italian writers—Guido Morselli, Amelia Rosselli, Cesare Pavese, and Primo Levi—have influenced the interpretation of their literary works. Leake argues that these authors’ final acts of suicide serve as a form of authorship, prompting readers and critics to reconsider the relationship between an author’s life, death, and their writings. By analyzing personal correspondence, diaries, obituaries, and both popular and academic commemorations, Leake explores how the knowledge of an author’s suicide reshapes the reading of their texts. The study challenges critical approaches that exclude the author’s personal life from literary analysis, suggesting instead that an author’s life and death become integral to understanding their work.
