Reviews

"""Donald Friedman brings his considerable literary gift to this memoir of despair, and with that gift fills the pages with the flickering light of the spirit. Seeing through his dying sister's eyes he discovers levels of perception unknown to him before. He helps his sister navigate a horrible hall of broken mirrors--brain disease--and in doing so he discovers a hidden love--which is usually the deepest love because we never suspect it's there.""--William Kotzwinkle author of ET the Extraterrestrial and Felonious Monk ""Donald Friedman's Still Phyllis is a masterfully told memoir about the imperfect love of siblings and the meaning that can be found in facing terminal illness and death. It's full of deep thinking about CJD and the ravages of dementia, brilliant descriptions, and a rare gratitude for second chances. The final chapters will leave you in a puddle.""--Benjamin Anastas, author of Too Good To Be True"
