Last of three talks on literature and suicide by A. Alvarez

Mr Alvarez argues that attempts to cope with the dehumanisation of life in a police state lead the writer towards a kind of suicide as surely as does the psychic exploration of poets like Sylvia Plath. He concludes that the arts today 'survive morally by becoming, in one way or another, an imitation of death in which the audience can share: to achieve this the artist, in his role of survivor, finds himself testing out his own death and vulnerability for and on himself.'
