Description

Arbitrary Stupid Goal by Tamara Shopsin is a nostalgic and humorous account of her unconventional childhood in 1970s Greenwich Village. At the heart of this story is Shopsin's family restaurant, "The Store", run by her father Kenny, a larger-than-life figure who dispenses wisdom, advice, and delicious food alongside his famous egg salad on rye. This offbeat memoir is filled with clever illustrations, witty photographs, and a sly narrative that balances humor and endearment. Through her story, Tamara Shopsin shares the secrets of living an unconventional life, which has become a forgotten art in today's fast-paced world. With its unique blend of humor, nostalgia, and insight into the bohemian lifestyle of 1970s New York, Arbitrary Stupid Goal is a fascinating read for anyone interested in memoirs, food, or the history of American culture.
