New York Times Op-Ed Columnist Frank Bruni recalls his own reluctance to confront the realities of Alzheimer’s, offering a touching account of his own grandmother many years ago, whose condition caused him to turn away. But as he also points out in his column, “Confronting an Ugly Killer,” “the world is different now. Much of the unwarranted shame surrounding Alzheimer’s has lifted. People are examining it with new candor and empathy.”
As evidence for his observation, he points to the latest movie, Still Alice, with Oscar buzz already starting for Julianne Moore’s performance.
As further evidence, he lists the new documentary “Glenn Campbell: I’ll Be Me” and a best selling, celebrated 2014 novel, “We Are Not Ourselves” by Matthew Tomas.
