AliceheimerÆs is a series of illustrated vignettes, daily glimpses into their world with AlzheimerÆs. WalrathÆs time with her mother was marked by humor and clarity: ôWith a community of help that included pirates, good neighbors, a cast of characters from space-time travel, and my dead father hovering in the branches of the maple trees that surround our Vermont farmhouse, AliceheimerÆs let us write our own story dailyùa story that, in turn, helps rewrite the dominant medical narrative of aging.ö
In drawing Alice, Walrath literally enrobes her with cut-up pages from AliceÆs Adventures in Wonderland. She weaves elements from Lewis CarrollÆs classic throughout her text, using evocative phrases from the novel to introduce the vignettes, such as ôDisappearing Alice,ö ôMissing Pieces,ö ôFalling Slowly,ö ôCuriouser and Curiouser,ö and ôA Mad Tea Party.ö
Walrath writes that creating this book allowed her not only to process her grief over her motherÆs dementia, but also ôto remember the magic laughter of that time.ö Graphic medicine, she writes, ôlets us better understand those who are hurting, feel their stories, and redraw and renegotiate those social boundaries. Most of all, it gives us a way to heal and to fly over the world as Alice does.ö In the end, AliceheimerÆs is indeed strangely and utterly uplifting.
