Farlane on Writing subscribers in May draw for A Very Human Ending by Jesse Bering

A Very Human Ending (Random House) by Jesse Bering

… it’s difficult for me to fully trust anyone for whom the thought of taking one’s own life hasn’t alighted at least briefly …
— A Very Human Ending by Jesse Bering

A Very Human Ending: How Suicide Haunts Our Species (Random House) is the ‘book draw’ 📚 gift for May 2026.

One person subscribed to the Farlane on Writing newsletter will win a copy of A Very Human Ending, signed by Jesse Bering, author of imminently forthcoming The Incredible Afterlives of Dr. Stevenson: One Scientist’s Epic Quest for Evidence of Reincarnation, Apparitions, Poltergeists, and Other Matters of the Soul (The University of Chicago Press, April 2026).

I was rereading A Very Human Ending over the last week. I love the honesty and compassionate humour in this book. I found it a tightly written informative read.

Franny, the main character in my forthcoming novel And How Are Things With You (Mākaro Press, Sept 2026) finds a hardback copy of A Very Human Ending in a second-hand bookshop on Charing Cross Road. A lucky find.

✨ Jesse Bering has kindly donated a signed copy for the May book draw.

In September, Farlane on Writing subscribers will go in the draw for the chance of winning a signed copy of And How Are Things With You.
