Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast

5.0

I was looking for a delightful read, and though this hilarious cartoon would do. I was totally wrong… this book is anything but light-weighted. It’s heavy and profound. It is about the end of life, the strenuous last mile of the whole journey, the phase that you are alive but not living, the moment that you don’t want to think about but will come eventually. It’s about watching your loved ones slips away from you hopelessly and irreversibly, the love and apologies that we never said, the differences that are too late to understand. It’s about letting go, but also memorizing.
