Wichita’s Big Read selection this year is Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, a graphic memoir by New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast.
As part of the community-wide celebration of reading, the Wichita Public Library hosts a variety of events touching on the theme of aging and caregiving, culminating in a presentation from Roz Chast herself.
I had the opportunity to speak with Roz Chast ahead of her appearance in Wichita, about her relationship with her parents through their final years, her role as a caregiver, and her hope for readers. I’m Beth Golay. From KMUW Studios, part of the NPR Podcast Network, this is Marginalia.
