Roz Chast

Upon publication of her new memoir, Can’t We Talk about Something More Pleasant?, Roz Chast discusses her relationship with her aging parents as they shift from independence to dependence.

With her keen eye for the foibles that make us human, Chast addresses the realities of what it is to get old in America today—and what it is to have aging parents today—with tenderness and candor, and a good dose of her characteristic wit.
