David Sedaris never fails to make me laugh and I had a few laugh out loud moments while reading this book. This book contained six stories that are meant to be used by students studying forensics that "young people might deliver before a panel of judges." (From author's note, p. ix). I have to say I didn't enjoy those stories as much as I enjoyed the rest of the book. I think David Sedaris is at his best when he's telling "stories" from his own life. He has an interesting family and I love hearing about his interactions with them.

I laughed so much people asked me if I was okay. slightly more political than any of his other books but it's really good.

Couldn't figure out the format at first, but after I caught on, it was a great ride!

I've now read all of David Sedaris' collected essays. Whatever shall I do with myself until he publishes another one?

Sedaris' stories and essays are comic and tragic. He relates painful childhood stories of abusive parents and personal embarrassments with self-deprecating hilarity. He also writes of observations while travelling and living in France and the UK. The collection closes with several ironic pieces from the point of view of right-wing Americans.

Coworker: "So, I assume this book isn't about owls. Or diabetes."

Otherwise, love love love. I think Mind The Gap was my favorite.
