[quote=Anonymous]Not sure where to put this but feel like I need to get this off of my chest. I've been following Yiyun Li's work over the years and while she's not one of my favorite writers, I deeply respect her work. Her younger son committed suicide in 2017, after which she wrote a book called "Where Reason Ends." It's one of those books that stuck with me throughout the years and brings me to tears when I just think of it. Today I found out that her older son committed suicide a few days ago in the exact same manner. He was a freshman at Princeton University. He jumped out in front of a train - the same train, at the same location, even approximately at the same time of day - as how his brother committed suicide. I am so disturbed by this news and cannot imagine the grief and mental torment the parents must be feeling right now. Take care of yourselves, everyone. [/quote]
