Either Way It’s Perfect: The Sayings of Noni Reisner During Her Dementia and Watercolors of Her by Her Husband, Lenny Silverberg
“Either Way It’s Perfect pushes the limits on artist-model collaboration, as Lenny Silverberg paints his wife, Noni, in her dementia, and Noni comments on her life and loving husband. The book is a humanistic triumph.”
— Wendy Steiner, author of The Scandal of Pleasure and Venus in Exile
“We rarely find anything humorous or wise about dementia and death, yet these pages are filled with laughter, wisdom, and life. I cannot read Noni’s words, so carefully tended and curated by her husband, Lenny, without shaking my head and convulsing in laughter at the deep knowledge woven in what appears, at first glance, to be nonsense. Who giggles about dementia? Who laughs and revels in the world of failing faculties and bodily functions? Lenny and Noni did. And with this book about the persistence of spirit, we all do.”
— Jonathan Salk, M.D., psychiatrist, assistant clinical professor at U.C.L.A. David Geffen School of Medicine
