Synopsis

At long last, a graphic novel for oldsters! [Yet dystopian enough for hipsters.] The world of end-of-life is not for the faint of heart, delicate of constitution, or weak of stomach. Eugene L. Conrotto copes with the absurdities—and indignities—of life in a nursing home by recording only slightly exaggerated announcements, signs, and items for an imaginary resident newsletter. It’s a world in which you laugh or cry. [NOTE: Describing something as “the very cleft of the buttocks” struck the author as an appropriate disparagement of this de-humanizing world. He can’t remember where he heard it, however—he’s old.]

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Eugene L. Conrotto was born in Gilroy, California, at the southern end of Santa Clara Valley known today as Silicon Valley. He has lived his life two decades at a time. For the first twenty years he was a student, that experience culminating in a degree in anthropology from Stanford University. For the next twenty years he was a journalist in the California desert: editor of the award-winning Desert Magazine. His first book—Lost Desert Bonanzas—came from this experience. The third twenty years of his life saw him return to the classroom as a teacher. Hence: Classroom Strategies for the Subversive English Teacher. The fourth twenty years—and still counting—were spent in blessed retirement, the chief joy of which he found is “one no longer has to take orders from idiots.” (He did not consider the spreading of good cheer to be among his responsibilities.) Conrotto is also the author of Miwok Means People, The Memoirs of Caesar Honore, Classroom Strategies for the Subversive English Teacher, An Annotated Chronology of the California Gold Rush, Notes on My Stay in a Convalescent Hospital, Avanti America, A Day with the Ant-People, and A Chronology of Unitarian-Universalist Celebrated Individuals.
