Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?

Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? è il titolo del libro di Roz Chast (Bloombury USA); un libro di memorie sugli ultimi anni dei genitori. Molto toccante, spiritoso, ovviamente, e liberatorio. Sarah Lyall intervista la cartoonist nella sua casa a Ridgefield, Conn., dove, in un closet tiene le ceneri dei genitori. “I like having my parents in my closet,” is how she explains it in her new graphic novel, “Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?”, which chronicles the pair’s long, precipitous decline, starting from when her mother fell off a stepladder in 2005 to the time she died, in 2009 (Ms. Chast’s father died in the middle of all that). “I think it makes a nice home for them". E poi racconta altre cose interessanti e divertenti della sua vita. nyt.
