The Oregon Book Awards presented the Sarah Winnemucca Award for Creative Nonfiction to Karen Karbo for The Stuff of Life. When Karen Karbo's father, a charming, taciturn Clint Eastwood type who lives in a triple-wide in the Nevada desert, is diagnosed with lung cancer, his only daughter rises to the challenge of caring for him. Neither of them is exactly cut out for the job. As Dick Karbo's disease progresses, Karen finds herself sometimes the responsible adult, sometimes a stubborn teenager all over again. But in the end, what father and daughter discover more than anything is the love and the toughness that makes them alike. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This was the selection of my face to face book club this month and while initially unenthused, I'm glad I read it. I'm not coping with the death of a loved one but if I was I would find it to be a realistic recounting that is both comforting and humanizing.
