Can't we talk about something more pleasant? : a memoir

Summary: "Roz Chast and her parents were practitioners of denial: if you don't ever think about death, it will never happen. Can't we talk about something more pleasant? is the story of an only child watching her parents age well into their nineties and die. In this account, longtime New Yorker cartoonist Chast combines drawings with family photos and documents, chronicling that 'long good-bye.'"--
