Death by Choice by Call Number: Main Library PL861.H326 J5913 2013ISBN: 0857282476Publication Date: 2013-02-01Yoshio Kita's hopelessness and lack of faith in his future crystallizes into a decision to commit suicide by what he calls 'capital punishment at free will', meaning his only pressing problem now is how to spend both his remaining self-allocated seven days on earth and all his worldly money. From fine dining with a former porn actress to insuring his life, from a pursuing an ex-girlfriend to an entanglement with an assassin, Yoshio's last seven days on earth take on unexpected twists and turns in this darkly comic exploration of the cult of suicide in Japan and the culture that has created it. The novel was made into a Japanese TV program, "あしたの、喜多善男 Ashita no, Kita Yoshio" Main Media Collection Video record 31305 DVD.
