Review: Should We Stay or Should We Go? by Lionel Shriver FICTION: A couple late in life try to make an exit plan repeatedly.
By Marion Winik, Special to the Star Tribune May 28, 2021 8:37am Text size Copy shortlink:
The new novel from Lionel Shriver, Should We Stay or Should We Go, starts out seeming rather claustrophobic and grim.
In Chapter 1, we meet a British couple named Cyril and Kay Wilkinson, both just past 50, he a doctor, she a nurse. Having just buried Kay s dad at the end of a miserable period of dementia and dependency, they want to spare their three children, the national health system, and themselves similar trials. Cyril suggests a suicide pact. When Kay turns 80, one year after Cyril does, they will off themselves. Neatly, with pills. They ll put their affairs in order and quit while they re ahead.

What books are on your night stand?
Two books to prime for my next novel: Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer” and Charles Mackay’s “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.” One exercise in reverse research writing the novel first and then doing the homework: Katie Engelhart’s “The Inevitable,” about end-of-life suicide. Finally, mercifully, fiction: Ewan Morrison’s “How to Survive Everything,” which sounds like an antidote to the Engelhart.
