Death By Choice Summary

Death By Choice by Masahiko Shimada

Yoshio Kitas hopelessness and lack of faith in his future crystallizes into a decision to commit suicide by what he calls capital punishment at free will, meaning his only pressing problem now is how to spend both his remaining self-allocated seven days on earth and all his worldly money. From fine dining with a former porn actress to insuring his life, from pursuing an ex-girlfriend to an entanglement with an assassin, Yoshios last seven days on earth take on unexpected twists and turns in this darkly comic exploration of the cult of suicide in Japan and the culture that has created it.
