讀書：Can't we talk about something more pleasant?

讀書：Can't we talk about something more pleasant? by Roz Chast /A memoir

這是一本給大人看的“小人書”。作者生於1954年，她用畫畫的方式記錄自己照顧年邁的父母度過生命的最後一程。她的父母生於1912年，父親活了95歲，母親活了97歲。

死亡是個沉重的話題，作者麵對生活的無奈沒有忘記幽默。

A quote from Swann's Way. (P196)

"The process which had begun in her...was the great and general renunciation which old age makes in preparation for death, the chrysais stage of life, which may be observed whenever life has been unduly prolonged; even in old lovers who have lived for one another with the utmost intensity of passion, and in old friends bound by the closest ties of mental sympathy, who after a certain year, cease to make the necessary journey, or even cross the street to see one another, cease to correspond, and know well that they will communicate no more in this world."

永垂不朽就是活在夢裏，住在心裏。
