Making Toast | Roger Rosenblatt

2 posts | 9 read | 3 to read

“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.”

I first read Kayak Morning after my mother died. I found something so soothing and cathartic about Rosenblatt‘s writing style. The book stands on its own, but in a way, Making Toast (which comes first) explains so much of the backstory. A beautiful memoir about what happens after the author‘s daughter, Amy, dies and leaves behind her husband and three young children. Sad and tender hearted, a beautiful testament to familial love.
