While Mr. Sedaris is one of the funniest authors I've ever read, he has a way of describing his own flaws and discoveries in a way that makes you understand he is not laughing at the people he writes about, but rather the situations that we find ourselves in. I've enjoyed all of his books, but think this is in the top 2. My favorite stories included Naked and the Drama Bug. I was literally laughing out loud when reading the latter. I will definitely include it in the pantheon of funniest David Sedaris stories along with 6 to 8 Black Men and Me Talk Pretty One Day.
Ebay is a great way to make those purchases you don't have time for in your busy schedule. The book that you want to buy or the last minute ift for a friend. In my case I have beed wanting to buy David Sedaris' book for quite a few years and foud it for a very reasonabloe price and had it delived right to my door! It was an easy way to complete a task that has been on the back burner for quite some time. Pick, click and pay, easy as 1,2,3
I bought this because I heard the audio version read by the author, which you MUST experience. His writing can't possibly be as effortless as it seems! I can't count the number of times I grimaced, groaned, shook my head, laughed... Check out Me Talk Pretty One Day for insight into Sedaris's family and childhood. Go to a nude camp? Why the hell not?
The story by this author cracked me up! 😂
