THIS YEAR’S ONE BOOK TWO VILLAGES SELECTION

A narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears “This is a beautiful book, deeply felt, both scorchingly honest about what it feels like to love and care for a mother who has never loved you back, at least never the way you had wanted, and achingly wistful about a gentle father who could never break free of his domineering wife and ride to his daughter’s rescue.” New York Times Book Review by Alex Witchel

Roz Chast, a New Yorker cartoonist since 1978, is the author of the graphic memoir Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, this year’s One Book Two Villages selection. In this work, Chast addresses the realities of what it is to grow older in America today–and what it is to have aging parents today–with tenderness and candor, and a good dose of her characteristic wit. The book is a New York Times Best Book of the Year, National Book Award Finalist, winner of the Kirkus Prize, and

a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for the best books of 2014. Chast will be the guest and featured speaker at two One Book Two Villages events this fall. We’re hosting a cocktail party and reception Thursday, September 15, at the Winnetka Community House, followed by the author’s lecture and book signing. Friday, September 16, we will host a luncheon and book discussion at The Happ Inn in Northfield.
