Summary
Summary
A #1 New York Times bestseller
A #1 USA Today bestseller
A 2008 Grammy Award Nominee for Best Spoken Word Album
"The preeminent humorist of his generation ... His reluctant charm and talent for observing every inch of the human condition remain intact." ―Entertainment Weekly
In this hilarious volume, Sedaris proceeds from the bizarre conundrums of daily life—having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds—to the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a masterpiece of comic writing.
"Older, wiser, smarter and meaner ... Sedaris defies the odds once again by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life." —Kirkus Reviews
"Sedaris's best stuff will still—after all this time—move, surprise, and entertain." —Booklist
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“It’s not just that Sedaris’ crisp prose is humorous. What makes his work a consistent joy to read is his deliciously skewed vision of the world, and his deadpan delivery.” —Boston Globe
“The preeminent humorist of his generation.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Sedaris’ sparkling essays always shimmer.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“This latest collection of 22 essays proves that not only does Sedaris still have it, but he’s also getting better.”
—Booklist
The new book by renowned gay humorist David Sedaris is even better on CD; Sedaris reads the stories, and his comedic timing adds another layer of wit to the already hilarious prose." —
