The Story of a Suicide

He talked about Tyler’s senior year in high school. “I would characterize him as a child growing up,” he said. “He was getting more into being fashion-conscious. Now, this kid, he had to dress for orchestra—since he was seven, he was wearing suits and ties. But he was getting more trendy, in the last year or so.” Jane Clementi recalled that, not long before his death, Tyler had bought a spectacular new pair of glasses—bright green on the inside of the stems. His father said, “He was definitely trying to express himself.”

They never saw any sign of depression, and can’t even see it retrospectively. “As a parent, what it says to me is that what you think you know, you don’t know,” Joseph Clementi said. “And that’s a hard thing, because we all think, I know what my kid’s up to. You don’t.”

On the night Jane Clementi learned that Tyler was gay, she said, “I told him not to hurt himself.” Not long before, a girl from his school had committed suicide. “We had talked about it briefly that summer, and for some reason that thought came to mind. And all I said was ‘Don’t hurt yourself,’ and he looked me right in the eye and he laughed, and said, ‘I would never do anything like that.’ ”

This was a really interesting read, but it’s kind of tough because it turns all the players into complicated characters and leaves more questions than the many it answers.

Daisy, meanwhile, is a selfish old bore throughout the installment, harrumphing about how everybody’s always trying to make her do dumb things like be nice to William, about whom she’s “meh” at best. Remember, readers, her last real crush was Thomas, and she has a frightfully contrary streak in non-baking capacities. We think she might be 1918’s gift to the school of girls who date out-of-work actors with bad credit and unacceptably mildew-y shower curtains.
