Jill Bialosky
The death of novelist, poet, and editor Jill Bialosky's sister, Kim, at age 21 in 1990 was one grim loss among many, as chronicled in her memoir, History of a Suicide (Atria $24.00). When Bialosky's son reaches adolescence, she realizes she has to confront the wrenching facts and persistent mysteries of Kim's life and death. The result is an investigative family history grounded in research into the act of self-annihilation.
