But what of suicide, which is simply a quickening of  a mandatory death? Death is an anti-teleology, to wait only for more nothingness. For there cannot be a final nothingness, one which could find any less or more meaning  than there has been up until now, there has been nothing  all along, and death shall alter nothing too. And so I found in the possibility of suicide nothing more than there was already, a decision of the same. Cioran said, “a book is a suicide postponed.” (A Methodology of Possession. On the Philosophy of Nick Land, James Ellis, 2020).

To write one’s autobiography, in order either to confess or to engage in self-analysis or in order to expose oneself to the gaze of all, in the manner of a work of art, is perhaps to seek to survive, but through a perpetual suicide—total  insofar as fragmentary death. To write (of) oneself is to cease to be, in order to confide in a guest/host – the other, a reader—who will  henceforth have as charge and  as life nothing but your inexistence ( Maurice Blanchot).
