We’re Considering Suicide this episode with Catholic reactionary and author Andy Nowicki.

Since our discussion ran quite long, I’ve left out any discussion that didn’t pertain to the book and begin the show with a reading from the first part of his book titled “Diary of a Suicide”. Those three pages of his novel will give you a clear understanding that Andy is not competing in the market with such dreck as the Left Behind series or other eminations of shitty pop culture eminating from the unironic, low-brow modern Evangelical media machine.

9BB describes the book as:

In his epistolary novel, Considering Suicide, Andy Nowicki gives voice to the forgotten man, the man for whom “the death of affect” is no postmodernist amusement, but something experienced acutely — as a profound loss to be mourned. When the pillars of tradition and faith yield to fracture and every higher purpose is thrown to chaos, such a man is left to look into the abyss that remains. Such a man is left to suffer. Such a man may act. Or react.

For this forgotten man, one question will intrude without irony: Is life worth living?

Got a problem with something I’ve said on the podcast? Got an angle not discussed?

Call (218) 666-UAVH and leave a voice mail. Since my shows are once a month give or take, I’d like to have a “call in” show where I compile listener responses and my added commentary in the in-between. Keep it under 3 minutes and think about what you’re going to say before you call. Identify yourself, your blog, or keep it anonymous. If I get enough calls, I’ll do a special show, if I get one or two, I’ll slip them into the regular show. If your call lacks substance and seems like you were more interested in plugging your website than commenting, it won’t be aired. You can comment on the most recent or even a previous episode.

The interview, final recording and mixing for this podcast were completed  Between Thursday, April 15th, and Sunday, April 18th, 2010.
