Notes on My Stay at a Convalescent Hospital: An Intimate Look at the Very Cleft in the Buttocks of Medicine

Description

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.]
