The Party after You Left by Roz Chast
3.0
3.5 stars.
I loved Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant, so I thought I’d try this too. Obviously it’s something very different by the same author, but it just didn’t hold my attention like the other. Still definitely enjoyable though. Interesting to know Roz Chast’s family background and see it carry through in what she highlights about humanity.
I did notice that most of the illustrated people are white. Some of the scenes seem to be from the author’s own life, and it’s fine to write what you know, but it’s also a bit of a product of a less-aware time.
