Me and My Family and Me

Acclaimed performance artist and longtime host of The Moth Andrew Dickson will have you laughing, tearing up and nodding along with recognition with his latest collection of personal essays.

Part memoir, part family history, and part advice for his own children, Me and My Family and Me weaves together stories from across different generations in chapters like Monopoly, Ice Cream, eBay, Baseball and Game Shows.

From sharing how his daughter invented a real flavor of Salt & Straw ice cream, why his father narrowly missed winning $64,000 on the game show of the same name, or his own attempts to entice and then evade the hungry producers of reality TV shows like Real World and Fear Factor this intimate, hilarious and heartwarming collection will inspire you to share your own stories with family and friends.

Andrew Dickson is a storyteller, performer, advertising copywriter and auctioneer. He lives with family in Portland, Oregon. This is his third book, or his eleventh counting zines.
