“I Have the Right to Destroy Myself” is the title of a book by the South Korean author Kim Young-Ha. It’s been described as a cross between “Lost in Translation” and “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”, and the author has been compared to Kafka, due to the existentialist style of his fiction. In the novel, the unnamed hero works on a suicide help line, but ends up suggesting graceful ways in which the callers can kill themselves. He even has a manual to show them how to do this, as he goes on to make house calls. He then publishes the stories of these suicides anonymously.
