La letteratura non può ignorare, e non ignora quando sopravvive nel tempo, le grandi conquiste del pensiero filosofico e le tappe fondamentali segnate dal progresso della conoscenza scientifica, se intende muoversi in una direzione di stimolo verso una maggiore consapevolezza e maturità intellettuale e culturale. Un risultato scientifico e un risultato poetico rappresentano un frammento di realtà ordinata al suo interno che ci commuove e ci entusiasma per la bellezza intrinseca dell'immagine che ci suggeriscono, per il suo valore sul piano dei significati. Entrambi i linguaggi, scientifico e letterario, tendono, ciascuno a suo modo, alla decodificazione del mondo esterno e a rappresentarlo. Fantasia intuizione razionalità insieme concorrono alla creatività, alla costruzione di modelli scientifici e di stili letterari.

After Words investigates the ways in which the suicide of a writer informs critical interpretations of his or her works. Suicide is a revision as well as a form of authorship, both on the part of the author, who has written his/her final scene and revised the 'natural' course of his/her life, and on the part of the reader, who must make sense of this final act of writing.Focusing on four twentieth-century Italian writers (Guido Morselli, Amelia Rosselli, Cesare Pavese, and Primo Levi), Elizabeth Leake examines their personal correspondence, diaries, and obituaries as well as popular and academic commemorative writings about them and their works in order to elucidate the ramifications of their suicides for their readership. Arguing that authorial suicide points to the limitations of those critical stances that exclude the author from the practice of reading, Leake's insightful re-reading of these authors and their texts shows that in the aftermath of suicide, an author's life and death themselves become texts to be read.
