The book is obviously about that story, but it's about so many different things as well.
You know, in the book you talk about
Before your your mother passes away, there's this, um, there's a lot of things that you and your family share: chronic pain, neurodivergence, uh, relationship to the outside world, to, you know, socioeconomic background, but you never really get the opportunity to fully talk about these things.
And a lot of the book is a conversation.
It's written in the second person, it's a conversation with your mother.
Um,
What kinds of things do you wish you could have have shared with each other?
while you actually were both in the same place.
I I I wonder if the book r brought up new ideas of things that you wish you could have talked about.
I mean, there's so many moving scenes of the book about all sorts of different things, but there's so much joy when you and your mom and your grandma are hanging out together, just laughing around a table about things that um no one else can understand, but even things that everyone can understand, just y in sharing these small moments.
I think you capture that feeling of laughing with people who know you so well and have known you for your whole life in in such a real vision.
I I haven't really seen that in many other books captured so accurately.
Mm.
I I think it really is.
I mean, uh it's such a a beautiful parade of scenes and portraits and feelings and stories.
I it I think parade isn't necessarily the first word that I would have come up with, but I now that you say it, I think that really actually is an accurate description of the book.
I I think
When you're telling a story that involves suicide, there's this tendency to not want to talk about it openly.
There's this like we get awkward about speaking about it.
And I think a lot of the book is about that too, especially the second half of the book is about why do we feel like we can't talk about this?
