The novella Teach Me How to Die tells a story of six people – five men and a woman, who have made a decision to commit suicide, but do not know how they should write their final suicide notes properly. In such a way that it would shed some light on who they were and explain why they have severed all ties with life…

They attend the master class, conducted by a Professor of Philology – Scott Mirrormord, who specializes in epitaph writing. How did the classes affect the students? Did their perception of life and each other change?

Did they realize their plans to part with life? You will find answers in this novella, where the tragic and comic elements are beautifully intertwined.
