Quotations:

• "Impossible stories, stories with No Entry signs on them, change our lives, and our minds, as often as the authorized versions, the stories we are expected to trust, upon which we are asked, or told, to build our judgements, and our lives." [p. 199]
• "Suicide is a crime of violence against those who remain alive." [p. 206]
