As a staff cartoonist for the New Yorker, Roz Chast is
well versed in graphically ommunicating the comical and the ridiculous in
everyday life with her signature scratchy line style. She applies her wit to
the aging and eventual demise of her own parents in this four colour graphic memoir
Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?, their repeated response to any attempts to confront these uncomfortable truths.
This painfully humorous take on a situation we may all someday face and her
understandable frustration at the eccentricities of her parents is relieved by humour
in this darkly comic bestseller.
