My First Popsicle: An Anthology of Food and Feelings - Edited by Zosia Mamet

My First Popsicle revels in the delights of food in all forms. Edited by Zosia Mamet - Shoshanna in Girls - this is a riotous, mouth-watering celebration of jelly, mac and cheese, donuts, the best sandwich in the world, and much more.

With an incredible list of celebrated contributors including: Sian Clifford, Whitney Cummings, Ted Danson, Beanie Feldstein, Naomi Fry, Tony Hale, Katie Holmes, Patti Lupone, Busy Philipps, David Sedaris, Leanne Shapton, Patti Smith and Jia Tolentino 

Of all the essentials for survival - oxygen, water, sleep and food - only food is a vast treasure trove memory and of sensory experience: a portal to culture, to times past, to disgust, to comfort, to love. No matter one's feelings about a particular dish, they are hardly ever neutral.

In My First Popsicle, Zosia Mamet has curated some of the most prominent voices in art and culture to tackle the topic of food in its elegance, its profundity and its incidental charm.

With contributions from David Sedaris on the joy of a hot dog, Jia Tolentino on the chicken dish she makes to escape reality, Patti Smith on memories of her mother's Poor Man's Cake, Busy Philipps on the struggle to escape the patterns of childhood favourites and more, My First Popsicle is as much as an ode to food and emotion as it is to life. After all, the two are inseparable.
