sjgrodsky 's review for:
Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?
by Roz Chast
If you have parents who are alive, read this book as a preview. If your parents are deceased, read this book for the perspective it offers. Is there anyone I've left out?
Caring for elderly parents as they decline and die is a heartbreaking journey. This is an honest, unvarnished, perceptive and hysterically funny guidebook. Leaf through it next time you are on hold with the hospital emergency room. Yes, you are still engaged in a stressful, humiliating struggle that you will ultimately lose. But you can laugh about it. Between sobs.
