A small, lovely book has been written out of his large and evident pain.-New York Times Book ReviewIn Legend of a Suicide, his heartbreaking semi-autobiographical debut story-collection, David Vann relates the story of a young man trying to come to terms with the guilt and pain of his fathers suicide.
