AT LEAST IT MAKES FOR A GOOD STORY

From the singular mind of Girls' star Zosia Mamet, a collection of frequently hilarious and always heartfelt essays that explore what it means to grow up a nepo baby and find your own place in the world.

You may know Mamet from her singular role as Shoshanna on Girls, or for being one of Hollywood's original nepo babies (or as she calls it, "a B-minus nepo baby, a nepito baby if you will"). What you might not know is that as a toddler she visited theaters where her mom was rehearsing, crawling around on the floor and scrunching herself between seats; that she earnestly believed in Santa Claus for way too long as a way to escape relentless childhood bullying; that she spent years navigating grueling body image issues in hopes of succeeding in Hollywood; and that she was so overwhelmed and overjoyed when finally meeting her idol David Sedaris, that she hid in the bathroom and melted into a "puddle of glitter". By turns charmingly witty and achingly vulnerable, the essays in AT LEAST IT MAKES FOR A GOOD STORY introduce us to Mamet in all her gloryfrom her early days growing up in literary and dramatic circles, to her years as a young adult pining for acceptance and love, to her early attempts to make it as an actor, to where she, and Shosh, are now. Zosia Mamet is perhaps best known for her starring role in the Emmy-and Golden Globe Award-winning HBO series Girls, and her role in the Emmy-nominated HBO Max series The Flight Attendant. When she isn't on screen you can find her at the barn riding her horse, or at home with her husband and snuggling their dog.
