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

5.0

A delightful but disturbing book about Chasts' parents ongoing denial of what was happening to them as they aged, and finally died in nursing care. She shows (and draws!) her parents with all their quirks, how they drive her "bats." But her love for them is clear. A fantastic, hilarious, uncomfortable book. Also reminds you that something is wrong with how our health care and family systems help / don't help people age and die...
