The Joy Of Snacking

A Graphic Memoir about Food, Love and Family

by Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell

New Yorker cartoonist and author of Murder Book Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell returns with a riotous and radically candid comic memoir about snacks, connection, and developing a taste for freedom.

From standup comedian, New Yorker cartoonist, and the author of Murder Book comes this fresh comics memoir about being a snacker in a world of foodies.  With equal parts humor and unflinching honesty, Hilary traces her life story through food: from her childhood as the ultimate picky eater, her teenage and young adult years of disordered eating, and finally learning to love herself again. Punctuated throughout with ridiculous (but very real! and important!) snack recipes like "a baggie of goldfish" and "burnt toast," Campbell captures the reality of growing up in a woman's body in the '90s and '00s in how it shaped her life in work, friendship, and dating. Especially dating.

Aren't we all seeking love, self-acceptance, and a good snack to get you through it? These hilarious stories of family, romance, and belonging prove that if food can isolate us, it also has the power to connect us to what matters most.
