Nobody Ever Talks About Anything But the End
*Finalist, Hubert Evans Nonfiction Prize A genuinely moving, funny, and inventive account of loss and grief, mental illness and suicide, from film and TV producer Liz Levine (Story of a Girl), written in the aftermath of the deaths of her sister and best friend. I feel like I might be a terrible person to be laughing in these moments. But it turns out, I’m not alone. In November of 2016, Liz Levine’s younger sister, Tamara, reached a breaking point after years of living with mental illness. In the dark hours before dawn, she sent a final message to her family then killed herself. In Nobody Ever Talks About Anything But the End, Liz weaves the story of what happened to Tamara with another significant death—that of Liz’s childhood love, Judson, to cancer. She writes about her relationship with Judson, Tamara’s struggles, the conflicts that arise in a family of challenging personalities, and how death casts a long shadow. This memorable account of life and loss is haunting yet filled with dark humor—Tamara emails her family when Trump is elected to check if she’s imagining things again, Liz discovers a banana has been indicted as a whistleblower in an alleged family conspiracy, and a little niece declares Tamara’s funeral the “most fun ever!” With honesty, Liz exposes the raw truths about grief and mourning that we often shy away from—and almost never share with others. And she reveals how, in the midst of death, life—with all its messy complications—must also be celebrated.
Memoirs' of a Nobody
“Did you think since we have company that, that gives you the right to defy me, get loud, and talk back!” With a swift effortless stroke of his right hand he slapped Kymela down. Kymela looked up to his friend who was standing next to him in the kitchen for help, but he turned around and headed back to the living room. Kymela’s eyes quickly surveilled the room for a weapon. There wasn’t anything close enough for her to grab. At that moment she knew it was on. Kymela began to cry while mumbling. “I’m sorry, I’m so-so sorry.” Although she knew in her mind it was too late Ramon was mad. He grabbed Kymela off the kitchen floor by her hair. As soon as she was on her feet, he slapped her down again. He began kicking her all over as if she was some common street thug that had broken into his house and wanted to teach him a man to man lesson.”
