The Wounded and the Worried

The Wounded and the Worried
Mittelholzer, Edgar
London : Putnam, [1962]
223 p. ; 21 cm

A vintage Mittelholzer of this period, the novel focuses on a gathering of people who have attempted suicide as they discuss with each other possible solutions to their problems, such as, for one character “clean sex” or, for another, some supernatural community. The novel asks whether love and the spiritual can defeat death; certainly a dark novel with respect to Mittelholzer’s eventual suicide.
