COVER DESCRIPTION FOR ACCESSIBILITY

THE COVER IMAGE features a painting titled BLOOM! by the Italian finger painter Paolo Troilo. The background of the painting is beige, with darker shades in the bottom corners and the top right corner. In the middle, a hyperrealistic black-and-white painting shows a muscular naked man bending backward; he appears to be floating in space. His legs and feet are bent backward and almost touch his buttocks. His head is extended backward, and his mouth is open. A long drip of black paint descends from the back of his head, as if he is bleeding. His arms are wide open and extended on either side of his body, leaving his chest open. An explosion of flowers sprouts from his chest. The flowers are blurry, but the colors are vibrant in comparison to the black and white body and beige background. Blue, yellow, magenta, red, and pink flowers and splashes of colors compose this oversized explosion. The blooming flowers exploding from the man’s chest occupy half of the page, from the middle to the top left corner. Against the beige background, approximately one-third from the bottom of the page, the main title of the book, Undoing Suicidism, appears in bold capital red letters with the subtitle in black italic letters, A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide. The name of the author, Alexandre Baril, appears in black capital letters in the bottom right corner, with the mention “Foreword by Robert McRuer” underneath in black font.
