This looks far too interesting for me not to read. Reason one is because memoirs are one of my favourite genre of reading and reason two is because Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? combines cartoons, text, and photographs to tell the story of an only child helping her elderly parents navigate the end of their lives. Surely there'll be a few interesting stories in here? To answer myself: yes. I was right. I couldn't help but looking inside. Just a lil. Here you can take a peek too: http://tinyurl.com/poq7j98.
Author Rosalind "Roz" Chastis is an American cartoonist and a staff cartoonist for The New Yorker. The cover gives exactly enough for you to know what to expect without giving all those special bits away. She details the conversations, moments, and memories from the that time with her parents. The quirkiness, sassy, and dead-funny cover also acts as a reminder to the sobering truths of the world. To be able to do that in one front cover deserves a helluva lot.
