Roz Chast’s Can’t We Talk about Something More Pleasant? is a hit
One of the top graphic novels of the first half of 2014 is surely Roz Chast's Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?: A Memoir
; the long time New Yorker mainstay has penned her FIRST (amazing) graphic novel and it's a true classic even though the subject matter sounds grim. The book follows Chat's experiences with her aging and increasingly vulnerable parents, a sad topic but a part of the human experience that a lot of us are going to have to deal with from one side or another some day. This being Chast it's also full of laughs, as she limns her eccentric sometimes annoying parents in rich comic detail. Anxiety and love mingle, as they do in real life.
