Go the Fuck to College

"This laugh-out-loud, latest installment in Adam Mansbach’s profane, #1 New York Times best-selling series, probably CAN be read to—and by—your graduating child, though it might bring you all to tears   WHEN YOUR KID IS LITTLE, the paradoxes of parenting are simple: you can love your child to death, and also be willing to do anything to get them to go the fuck to sleep. But by the time your precious little baby bird is getting ready to spread its wings and leave the nest? That’s a whole different level of complexity. You’re happy and sad. Thrilled and devastated. You want to give them all the advice you can, but you know they’ve got to make their own mistakes. You want them to know they can always come home, but also you’re turning their bedroom into a gym.   With Adam Mansbach’s trademark honesty, humor, and profanity, Go the Fuck to College perfectly captures the complicated emotional reality of this poignant, fraught, exciting time. A perfect gift for any graduating senior—or their parents or grandparents—this book somehow encapsulates everything you’d ever want to tell your kid … along with a few things you’d never dream of saying out loud.   “Countless sleep-deprived parents around the world were grateful when, in 2011, Mansbach published a riproaringly profane parody of a children’s book to help kids fall asleep. A series of Go the Fuck to Sleep books followed. And why not? The novelist hit on a hilarious conceit—merging syrupy-sweet kid-lit prose with R-rated kickers—that kept on giving. As happens, children grow older. Yet don’t they still need some advice when heading off to college? Yes, those doorstopper guides on best colleges might help, but they’re not quite as funny as Mansbach’s latest book … Yet more laughs for overwhelmed parents—as they become empty nesters.”—Kirkus Reviews"

My First Popsicle: An Anthology of Food and Feelings

"With an incredible list of celebrated contributors including DAVID SEDARIS, NAOMI FRY, PATTI SMITH, SIAN CLIFFORD and JIA TOLENTINO, My First Popsicle revels in the delights of food in all its 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 entire world - and much more. Of all the essentials for survival: oxygen, water, sleep and food, only food is a vast treasure trove of memory and of sensory experience. Food is 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 an ode to food and emotion as it is to life. After all, the two are inseparable."
