520    "An affecting exploration of the ways our roles as parents
       and children change over a lifetime. Paul at Home is 
       Quebecois superstar Michel Rabagliati's most personal book
       yet, a riveting, emotional, and frequently amusing take on
       the losses and loneliness of being closer to retirement 
       than to university. Paul is in his mid-50s, a successful 
       cartoonist with an achy shoulder living in a house he once
       shared with his wife and daughter. The backyard is unkempt,
       full of weeds. A swing set sits idle, slowly rusting 
       beside a half-dead tree Paul planted with his then-five-
       year-old daughter. The room that belonged to his now-18-
       year-old daughter is mostly unused, especially once she 
       decides to move overseas. Left unspoken but lingering in 
       the background is Paul's divorce after a three decade 
       relationship with his high school sweetheart. Amid all of 
       this emotional turmoil, Paul visits his ailing mother in 
       the final months of her life. Like Paul, she divorced in 
       mid-life after a long marriage. She spent most of her 
       remaining years alone or in unfulfilling relationships, 
       which Paul implicitly fears might happen to him. Online 
       dating only seems to make the world worse. Rabagliati 
       doesn't shy away from these intimate issues, approaching 
       them as much with self-deprecating humor as with sorrow or
       pain. Characterized by both a deep insight and a 
       willingness to poke fun at life's shortcomings, Paul at 
       Home is a playful and poetic rumination on loss and the 
       sometimes unsettling changes that come with middle age."--
