How shall I tell the dog? : and other final musings

Author:	Miles Kington; Caroline Kington
Publisher:	New York : Newmarket Press, 2009.
Edition/Format:	Book : English : 1st ed
Summary:	When British humorist Kington was diagnosed with late-stage cancer at the age of 66, he decided to treat the news like he treats other thoughts running around in his brain: with a book. But he wasn't sure just what kind of book to write: Should it be a "how to survive the bad news" type, or maybe the "what I did with my remaining days/weeks/months" type, or even the "what your body goes through when you have cancer" type? What eventually evolved was a book of letters to his agent exploring just these very questions, putting the reader in the here-and-now as Kington visits myriad doctors, talks to his family and friends, considers which celebrities he might like to murder, and generally goes about his daily life as a writer contemplating his final days. Remarkably, the tenor remains light, even during his most difficult times. Gallows humor may be the most difficult kind of comedy, as it's designed to make the audience uncomfortable. Kington somehow makes it work. Copyright 2009 Booklist Reviews.  Read more...
