Spanning the last several years of their lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, and documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears, Chast's memoir is both comfort and comic relief for anyone experiencing the life-altering loss of elderly parents. When it came to her elderly mother and father, Roz held to the practices of denial, avoidance, and distraction. But when Elizabeth Chast climbed a ladder to locate an old souvenir from the "crazy closet"--with predictable results--the tools that had served Roz well through her parents' seventies, eighties, and into their early nineties could no longer be deployed. While the particulars are Chast-ian in their idiosyncrasies--an anxious father who had relied heavily on his wife for stability as he slipped into dementia and a former assistant principal mother whose overbearing personality had sidelined Roz for decades--the themes are universal: adult children accepting a parental role; aging and unstable parents leaving a family home for an institution; dealing with uncomfortable physical intimacies; managing logistics; and hiring strangers to provide the most personal care" -- $c from publisher's web site. 600 10 $a Chast, Roz $x Family $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Adult children of aging parents $x Family relationships $z United States $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Aging parents $x Family relationships $z United States $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Aging parents $x Care $z United States $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Cartoonists $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 82 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724072152.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710025218.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023150.0 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525041137.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515012231.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013020.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305034036.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119013102.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104013351.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214052808.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20230720010958.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629012634.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012510.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210020018.0 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209013713.0 952 $l KHPB566 $d 20230126011053.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221005015512.0 952 $l I6OX771 $d 20220719011310.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518015455.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20220510011132.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215022544.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118015229.0 952 $l KZPA953 $d 20211020012105.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722042910.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323013005.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528054519.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021832.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204073351.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110055308.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214023438.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717024952.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20190504020642.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20190328031034.0 952 $l GSPC501 $d 20181218012407.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107045912.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006075410.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720043157.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180719042233.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719023813.0 952 $l NKPD993 $d 20180718041437.0 952 $l DRPC413 $d 20180714022939.0 952 $l NXPA663 $d 20180711043923.0 952 $l DWPA413 $d 20180627021719.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20171214020737.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20171202011027.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20171128012346.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20171116013117.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728024817.0 952 $l PZPA094 $d 20170728024056.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418102855.0 952 $l RUPC135 $d 20170406014010.0 952 $l CHPB482 $d 20161019013909.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20160906011546.0 952 $l EJPD605 $d 20160728181947.0 952 $l UXAX826 $d 20160628012823.0 952 $l JCPC145 $d 20160623123142.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20160505045023.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407023338.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20160209012819.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926025615.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20150916043648.0 952 $l 8USX522 $d 20150902014340.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20150828010641.0 952 $l RAPD371 $d 20150805012847.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20150603012347.0 952 $l TGPD826 $d 20150514024401.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20150514020601.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150514013722.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20150514011058.0 952 $l FMPC224 $d 20150428025137.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20150402025406.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20150313010756.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20150228010859.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20150227033928.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20150210012018.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20150130010300.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20150101010414.0 952 $l MCPB423 $d 20140926105337.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20140716010312.0 952 $l S2PA501 $d 20140609152846.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20140607011103.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20140604011608.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=25BED908D1BF11E3B7825EAFDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
