Reviews

(Audiobook) an eclectic collection of essays and talks about life and its peculiarities from buying a stuffed owl to bureaucratic headaches of living in a different country as a writer. Fun and low stress read.

"Author, Author" and "#2 to Go" had me in stitches. They seemed to get better as I delved deeper. Also, the whacky POVs interspersed between several chapters were hilarious, though I mistakenly read them from his actual point of view at first and mused, "I didn't know David Sedaris has a child. I'd like to find him on Twitter." Or, better yet, "I didn't know David Sedaris was a woman. So that's why he sounds slightly feminine."
