Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[The Burn Journals] describes a particular kind of youthful male desolation better than it has ever been described before, by anyone." -Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon"A fascinating account of the mending of a body and mind, told with the simple and honest sensibility of someone too young to have endured so much." --Arthur Golden, author of Memoirs of a Geisha"Runyon has, perhaps, written the defining book of a new genre, one that gazes...unflinchingly at boys on the emotional edge ." -Booklist (starred review)"A taut, chilling account of the author's attempt to commit suicide...a must-read for teenagers struggling with self-doubt."-The Denver Post"An excruciating, brilliant book...WOW." --A.M. Homes, author of Things You Should Know

Reseña del editor:

Brent Runyon was fourteen years old when he set himself on fire, and an intense retelling of that suicide attempt followed by a year of physical and psychological recovery conveys with a terrible clarity what it means to want to commit suicide. Reader's Guide available. Reprint. 35,000 first printing.
