Annotation: Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant is a memoir by the New Yorker cartoonist, Roz Chast. She introduces the reader to her relationships with her parents from her childhood to their dying and deaths. The memoir testifies to the need for end of life planning. As the title suggests, her parents avoid the topics of dying and death, which leads to issues for Roz Chast. There is humor and gravity in turn and together. This title also includes a few photos among the illustrations.
