Roz Chast, the well-known New Yorker cartoonist, applies her trade to this graphic novel memoir that chronicles the old age and death of her parents, George and Elizabeth. An only child born to parents in their 40s, Roz was never totally at ease with her parents, especially her domineering mother. Elizabeth, a New York City Public Schools Assistant Principal for decades, would routinely cower anyone with "a blast from Chast". As Roz struggles to deal with her elderly parents, she also explores her complex, unresolved relationship with her mother. Both funny and heartbreaking, this is a must book for anyone with elderly parents.
