Description
“I don’t know Tamara Shopsin, but I am a fan.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“Shopsin tells this story in a terse, true manner. A beautifully illustrated memoir full of love, with no bullsh*t.” —Maira Kalman, author of And the Pursuit of Happiness
Best known for her witty, sparse illustrations, and as a cook beside her mischievous father in her family’s iconic Manhattan restaurant, in Mumbai, New York, Scranton Tamara Shopsin chronicles a year in her life when impermanence was the theme. Told in a refreshingly original voice that alternates between tender and brazen, Shopsin recounts her trip to the Far East with her sidekick husband and the harrowing adventure that unfolds after returning home.
Blending humor, love, and suspense—and featuring photographs by Jason Fulford—Mumbai, New York, Scranton reveals and inspires a kaleidoscope of emotions. Shopsin’s surprising and affecting tale is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.
