Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Dancing at the Pity Party: A Dead Mom Graphic Memoir by Tyler Feder 

This memoir is written from the point of view of an adult woman looking back at a pivotal time in her life -- when she was 19 years old, and her mother died of cancer. We spend most of the book inside the author’s head, feeling her emotions as she tries to deal with her mother’s illness and death, and what happens when the family loses the glue that held it together. Tyler writes that she was searching for a book “that cradles my grief without smothering it,” and this memoir contains a great message that says it’s okay to grieve, it’s okay to laugh, and it’s okay to cry.

Give this book to teens and adults looking for memoirs, graphic format nonfiction, and books about families, grief, and learning to find the light in the darkness.

Debuting at TCAF 2020 - Dancing at the Pity Party by Tyler Feder 

208 pages, CDN $24.99, published by Dial Books / Penguin Random House Canada

Part poignant cancer memoir and part humorous reflection on a motherless life, this debut graphic novel is extraordinarily comforting and engaging. From before her mother's first oncology appointment through the stages of her cancer to the funeral, sitting shiva, and afterward, when she must try to make sense of her life as a motherless daughter, Tyler Feder tells her story in this graphic novel that is full of piercing--but also often funny--details. She shares the important post-death firsts, such as celebrating holidays without her mom, the utter despair of cleaning out her mom's closet, ending old traditions and starting new ones, and the sting of having the "I've got to tell Mom about this" instinct and not being able to act on it. This memoir, bracingly candid and sweetly humorous, is for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.
