Making Toast

<p>A painfully beautiful memoir....Written with such restraint as to be both heartbreaking and instructive. <p></p></p><p>--E. L. Doctorow<p></p></p> <p> </p></p><p>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 <em>The New Yorker Making Toast </em>is a moving account of unexpected loss and recovery in the powerful tradition of <em>About Alice </em>and<em> The Year of Magical Thinking</em>. Writer Ann Beattie offers high praise to the acclaimed author of <em>Lapham Rising</em> and <em>Beet</em> for a memoir that is written so forthrightly but so delicately that you feel you're a part of this family.<p></p></p>
