Zusammenfassung:"The Lamentations is a history of the archetype of queer suicide, a eulogy for those who have died, and an exploration of the role that intimate archives play within the experience of mourning. The book seeks and recovers stories about the suicides of queer people from numerous sources throughout the last several hundred years, following the ways in which queer suicide has played a mournful accompanying role in life stories involving loneliness, shame, isolation, familial and social alienation, religious and political persecution, arrest and incarceration, blackmail and forced outing, and many other markers of marginalization and oppression. The Lamentations is also a book about those who remain after a suicide has taken place, and the particular forms of mourning that follow in its wake."
