Horacio Quiroga
Awesome blog! Thanks for this interesting post! It is no wonder his stories were about death and despair if his life was like that! I wonder if his fascination with the jungle stemmed from this as well. There are wild animals and few people. Seeing as all those who were close to him died and/or committed suicide, he may have blamed himself. That is the sad thing about suicide - it oftentimes hurts those who are still living more than the person that commits suicide. Younger children, especially, tend to blame themselves. He may have found an escape in the jungle.
