A family memoir of loss and recovery

Roger Rosenblatt’s memoir recounts a family’s experience of unexpected loss and the process of recovery that follows. The book grew from an essay he published in The New Yorker in December 2008, expanding that account into a story about how a life-changing tragedy reshapes family life. Its subject is intimate and personal: grief, its aftermath, and the work of carrying on together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in memoirs about family life and bereavement.
  • For readers seeking personal accounts of grief and recovery.

Book overview

"A painfully beautiful memoir....Written with such restraint as to be both heartbreaking and instructive."

 

--E. L. Doctorow

 

 

A revered, many times honored (George Polk, Peabody, and Emmy Award winner, to name but a few) journalist, novelist, and playwright, Roger Rosenblatt shares the unforgettable story of the tragedy that changed his life and his family. A book that grew out of his popular December 2008 essay in The New Yorker, Making Toast is a moving account of unexpected loss and recovery in the powerful tradition of About Alice and The Year of Magical Thinking. Writer Ann Beattie offers high praise to the acclaimed author of Lapham Rising and Beet for a memoir that is, "written so forthrightly, but so delicately, that you feel you're a part of this family."
