Book Description
A cartoonist chronicles how he and his grown siblings dealt with their mother’s cancer diagnosis and treatment in this Eisner Award–winning graphic novel. Mom’s Cancer is a graphic novel about one family’s struggle with metastatic lung cancer. Honest, unflinching, and sometimes humorous, it is a look at the practical and emotional effect that serious illness can have on patients and their families. In the end, it is a story of hope—uniquely told in words and illustrations. Praise for Mom’s Cancer Winner of the 2005 Eisner Award, Best Digital Comic for the original Web version Winner of the Harvey Award, Best New Talent “The clean, simple comic-strip quality of Fies’s art fits the story perfectly, highlighting the gravity of the situation while cutting away undue sentimentality. Mom’s Cancer is a quiet, courageous account of one family's response to a universal situation.” —Publishers Weekly “In a suave comic-strip style rather like those of Gary Trudeau…and Berkeley Breathed . . . Fies traces the events of his mother’s illness primarily from the perspective of her three children, including “nurse sis” and “kid sis” (adult but the youngest) as well as himself. . . . Depicting a family dependably if warily dealing, not without anger and feelings of inadequacy, with each crisis and change that cancer brings, Fies’ book may be one of the most well-balanced contributions to the literature of coping with cancer.” —Booklist

Crying in H Mart
Author: Michelle Zauner
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0525657754
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the indie rock sensation known as Japanese Breakfast, an unforgettable memoir about family, food, grief, love, and growing up Korean American—“in losing her mother and cooking to bring her back to life, Zauner became herself” (NPR). • CELEBRATING OVER ONE YEAR ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food. As she grew up, moving to the East Coast for college, finding work in the restaurant industry, and performing gigs with her fledgling band--and meeting the man who would become her husband--her Koreanness began to feel ever more distant, even as she found the life she wanted to live. It was her mother's diagnosis of terminal cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Vivacious and plainspoken, lyrical and honest, Zauner's voice is as radiantly alive on the page as it is onstage. Rich with intimate anecdotes that will resonate widely, and complete with family photos, Crying in H Mart is a book to cherish, share, and reread.

Publisher: Seal Press
ISBN: 1580056881
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Kate Spencer lost her mom to cancer when she was 27. In The Dead Moms Club, she walks readers through her experience of stumbling through grief and loss, and helps them to get through it, too. This isn't a weepy, sentimental story, but rather a frank, up-front look at what it means to go through gruesome grief and come out on the other side. An empathetic read, The Dead Moms Club covers how losing her mother changed nearly everything in her life: both men and women readers who have lost parents or experienced grief of this magnitude will be comforted and consoled. Spencer even concludes each chapter with a cheeky but useful tip for readers (like the "It's None of Your Business Card" to copy and hand out to nosy strangers asking about your passed loved one).
