Riverbend Reads: One Friday in April, A Story of Suicide and Survival by Donald Antrim

May 17, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

  • « Constantly Pizza – Support Riverbend!
  • This is My Brave NH 2022 »

Riverbend is excited to be partnering with Gibson’s Bookstore to bring Donald Antrim and his book, One Friday in April: A Story of Suicide and Survival, to Gibson’s in Downtown Concord on Tuesday, May 17th from 6:30pm – 7:30pm.

The New York Times describes One Friday in April as an “engrossing, necessary book — part memoir, part philosophical treatise — he argues that suicide is ‘a disease process, not an act or a choice’. Those who suffer from mental illness and die by (or “of”) suicide do not take their own lives, Antrim says, but have their lives taken from them.”

Donald Antrim is the author of three novels, including Elect Mr. Robinson for a Better World, and a memoir, The Afterlife. He has received awards from the MacArthur Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

This event is free to the public. Purchase One Friday in April at www.gibsonsbookstore.com.
