A propos de cet article

Paperback. Aneurin (Nye) Wright hasnt been on good terms with his father for a long time. When he receives a call on his birthday from his father, Neil, he isnt quite sure how to react. Neil has been diagnosed with emphysema and is certified for hospice, a six-month death sentence. He needs help. Newly unemployed, Nye is free to move into the trailer park where his father lives and assume the role of caregiver. Neither Nye nor Neil is particularly enthralled by the situation. Things to Do in a Retirement Home Trailer Park documents Nyes reconciliation with his father as he cares for him in hospice. Their daily schedule of pill counting and medical checks unfolds in an extraordinary world where the protagonist is a minotaur and his father a rhinoceros, social workers are sea turtles, and mobile homes move atop gigantic elephants. Curious neighbors and medical and social care workerswhether man or beastbecome their friends, and the family comes together once more. Nye and his father become more intimate as they reveal more and more of their emotions to each other. As the old man battles against emphysema, his shortness of breath becomes more evident until his speech bubbles, previously charged with pithy comment, are mostly filled with pauses. Graphic artist Aneurin Wrights unforgettable debut is a universal tale of love and loss told in a wholly original way. In this graphic novel, the author documents his reconciliation with his father, dying of emphysema, as he cares for him in hospice.
