Sebastopol-based journalist Susan Swartz died by suicide in 2020. Her daughter’s memoir about her mother’s death and its repercussions will be published this week
I'm looking forward to reading this memoir. I didn't know Susan personally but I was an avid fan of hers. I remember when Juicy Tomatoes came out. I was eager to read my copy. Susan was a bit older than I and I valued her reflections about age. Her death shocked me. I remember reading the article and doing a double take. Susan Swartz? Dead by suicide? Frankly, for lots of reasons, at that moment, I could relate to her choice. I will read the book with an open mind and an open heart. Thank you, Samantha.
Thank you, Rollie for this great article about Samantha's recent book. Susan was a longtime friend of us all and we miss her. Just FYI for the Times, we at Occidental Center for the Arts will be hosting Sam for a reading and book sales/signing on Sunday May 25th. We wanted to accommodate her earlier than that, but our events calendar was full.
