Suicide. Blame. Faith. Image.
College isn't all kegs and eggs.
Chris feels like a loser. He's sick of his Catholic high school life of obedience and order. He goes to college craving something else, but knows he won't find it on his own. The socially adept Ethan shows him true happiness through basement parties and campus terrorism, with a few hundred-dollars' worth of innocent fish as victims.
Everything seems fine until Ethan puts a gun in his mouth sophomore year. Chris has to find out why the envy of so many chose suicide as his way out. He won't like the answers.
Part-memoir, part-fiction, A Constant Suicide is an accurate portrayal of the underside of campus life populated by a generation seeking the never-ending party.
