Join author Arianna Rebolini at Tiny Raccoon Books on May 9th at 7pm for a reading from her book, "Better: A Memoir About Wanting to Die."
The event will be moderated by Erika Swyler. Arianna will take questions and discuss the book after a reading. We will have copies of her book for sale and she will sign copies.
About the book Why do so many people want to die—and how do we begin to understand what makes a person choose suicide?
After a decade of therapy and a stint in a psychiatric ward to treat suicidal depression, Arianna Rebolini was “better.” She’d published her first book, enjoyed an influential, rewarding publishing job, and celebrated both a marriage and the birth of her first child. But none of it was enough to keep the desire to die at bay. One night, grappling with overwhelming debt and a pro-longed depression, she composed goodbye letters to her husband and son while they slept just feet away.
In Better, Arianna interweaves the story of this period of crisis with decades of personal and family history, from her first cry for help in the fourth grade with a plastic knife, to her fears of passing down the dark seed of suicide to her own son, to her brother’s own life-threatening affliction. To make sense of this dark desire, Arianna pored over the journals, memoirs, and other writings of famous suicides, and eventually developed theories on what makes a person suicidal.
Her curiosity was driven by the morbid, impossible need to understand what happens in the fatal moment between wanting to kill oneself and doing it—or, unthinkably, the moment between regretting the action and realizing it can’t be undone. When her brother became institutionalized, Arianna realized that all of the pattern recognition and trenchant insights could not crack the shell of his annihilating depression—and that the only way to help a person live is to address the societal factors that make them want to die.
About the author Arianna Rebolini is a writer and editor born and raised in New York. Formerly the Books Editor at BuzzFeed News, her criticism, essays, and features have appeared in The Atlantic, The Guardian, Esquire, TIME, The Cut, Vulture, and elsewhere. She is a member of the National Book Critics Circle and has been awarded residencies at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts as well as the Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow.
Her debut novel, Public Relations (Grand Central Publishing), co-authored with Katie Heaney, is out now. She lives in Queens with her husband, son, and two cats.
About the moderator Erika Swyler is the bestselling author of the critically acclaimed novels We Lived On the Horizon, Light From Other Stars and The Book of Speculation. Her writing has appeared in The Writer’s Chronicle, Literary Hub, VIDA, The New York Times, People, and elsewhere. She lives on Long Island, NY, with her husband and a mischievous house rabbit.

Join us on June 13th for a reading of Rod Serling: His Life, Work, and Imagination by Nicholas Parisi. The author will read from the book and do a Q&amp;A session. Books will be available for sale and they can be signed as well.277 Railroad Avenue, Sayville, NY, 11782 7pm FreeAbout the book: Long before anyone had heard of alien cookbooks, gremlins on the wings of airplanes, or places where pig-faced people are considered beautiful, Rod Serling was the most prestigious writer in American television. As creator, host, and primary writer for The Twilight Zone, Serling became something more: an American icon. When Serling died in 1975, at the age of fifty, he was the most honored, most outspoken, most recognizable, and likely the most prolific writer in television history.Though best known for The Twilight Zone, Serling wrote over 250 scripts for film and television and won an unmatched six Emmy Awards for dramatic writing for four different series. His filmography includes the acclaimed political thriller Seven Days in May and cowriting the original Planet of the Apes.In great detail and including never-published insights drawn directly from Serling’s personal correspondence, unpublished writings, speeches, and unproduced scripts, Nicholas Parisi explores Serling’s entire, massive body of work. With a foreword by Serling’s daughter, Anne Serling, Rod Serling: His Life, Work, and Imagination is part biography, part videography, and part critical analysis. It is a painstakingly researched look at all of Serling’s work—in and out of The Twilight Zone.About the author Nicholas Parisi is the author of Rod Serling: His Life, Work and Imagination and America's Twilight Zone: How Rod Serling Foreshadowed the Age of Trump. He serves as President of the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation (<a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rodserling.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExcWdBQVNMalZMRFh1VzlBbXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4jj90lla1xjuE2cuIjkgzZ2TAS0aM8bOPXflR1OgjfUHu0QiAjMw1QqMiGXA_aem_Pg1A3Lu2Xf-XvSy60i_eig&amp;h=AUCn7rVTX523RiQBY4RSdu_y_bqRpZIQJqQ07Q-4Mng26c4c6CCF_ZpcK3JMqhiOwBq-__4rSLSMIxI-cLkBkNDW4kmcWAM5iH6RQDtJpWvOkNzARGeZ3Yak73iNzKy53_lzrIJkyu4qZWIC&amp;__tn__=q&amp;c[0]=AUAiOIFFx1B21_5Dp9ZhQFRohJSFPusnJROplhjAP8HNwl4bKOe7eJG-ZDeNouHBgDuPbYHCqJ3AyxwkyWsljq6x02agU5jPynBZuCcQjjNVHcM89Kqrk3TljIISzKGBYUlXGnLzvQkJLWLUog47CVplWkED-eMKZfc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.rodserling.com</a>), a charity that is dedicate to preserving and promoting Serling’s legacy. He is the world’s foremost expert on Rod Serling’s life and work. He has appeared on CBS’s Inside Edition, spoken about Serling’s career on dozens of radio shows including Coast to Coast AM and Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, and delivered presentations on Serling at science fiction conventions across the country.As a musician and vocalist, Nicholas has performed on stage hundreds of times in front of thousands of people. In 2010, his former band, Arioch, released a CD with the Serling-inspired title Between Light and Shadow on Retrospect records. His most recent band, The Sonic Revolution, independently recorded and released four CDs, each of which is available via Apple Music and other online platforms. He recently completed an original musical, also titled Between Light and Shadow, which is currently being shopped to producers.
