Sometimes I just wish the BBC would ask him to reprise Alistair Cooke's "Letter from America". Maybe a bit too Ssnarky but he does have the ability to make the driest topic entertaining.

Another collection of stories by Sedaris, I found this assemblage as much as some of his other works. Per usual, I am always entertained by the creativity of Sedaris' work.

Hilarious and down to earth; written with no boundaries and with seemingly every fleeting idea coming across on the page but that just adds a touch of procativeness in a good way

I often say that David Sedaris is hit-or-miss for me, and it's true, though anytime someone says that about anything they generally mean that it's mostly miss, and I'm no exception. I liked this one, though. Though Sedaris is often described as a humorist, I frequently find him depressing. There's a bit of that on display here too, but it was light as Sedaris goes and I laughed a fair bit while reading. If you ever like reading Sedaris, this is a good one.
