The books also appeared on the Washington Posts' 50 Notable Works of Nonfiction in 2020. One World published the book on February 25, 2020.

Kiese Laymon spoke about his acclaimed revised, remixed essay collection HOW TO SLOWLY KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS IN AMERICA with PEN America as part of their The PEN Ten weekly interview series. When asked about the differences in tone between the new edition and the original, Laymon said: “The tone of the first one was sort of like ascendant bombast with lots of voices because it was so linear. This revision is still filled with lots of voices, but the tone is much more whispery, scared, to tell you the truth. It’s a call and response book that ends on a call into the ether. So, it’s more of a plea than the first one to me.” Scribner published the book on November 10, 2020.
