Each entry is a meditation on taste and texture, a memory unlocked. Everyone's favorites--and least favorites--are carefully considered, including Snickers and Trader Joe's Peanut Butter Cups, as well as the beloved Good n' Plenty and Werther's Originals. "Sweet Nothings" moves associatively, touching on pop culture, art, culinary history, philosophy, body image, and class-based food moralism. Sarah Perry's pure love of candy weaves together elegiac glimpses of her 90s childhood--and the loss at its center--with stories of love and desire. Surprisingly smart and frequently funny, "Sweet Nothings" is a tart and sweet ode to finding small joys where you can"--Publisher's website.
