![]() ![]() Candy became his hobby-finding it, buying it, eating it, and learning how it is made. He remembers what he calls his Initial Candy Supplier (ICS), a neighborhood liquor store that sold candy, and which seemed magical enough until he visited a Sears that had a candy stand where it could be bought by the pound. The prologue and the first chapter are steeped in autobiographical anecdotes and justifications of his obsession. Written by Steve Almond, an enthusiastic, obsessed, and self-professed “candyfreak,” the book takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the country, looking for the small candy companies that produced the favorite treats of Almond’s childhood. Candyfreak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America (2004) is a humorous, nonfiction book about the American candy industry. ![]()
