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