David Sedaris

4.1 AVERAGE


This was my first book by Sedaris, so some of the life history may have been lost on me. But, some of his stories were so funny I found myself laughing, out loud, while out for a walk, or driving to work in the morning. Definitely worth listening to in Sedaris' voice as well (i.e. audiobook)!
funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced

more personal than his last few, and better for it. (unrelated thought: we rarely get an idea of why he and hugh are still together. it seems like they might hate each other?)

A very inside glimpse of Sedaris and his unique famly. A lot of content that was cold hearted, vulgar and gross, but many smiles and chuckles in between.

The dichotomy between dark and light content really did a lot for me. I loved Sedaris’ dark humor and twisted interpretations of the world and found myself laughing out loud at some of his spot-on relatability. Enjoyed this book thoroughly and already snagged a couple more to get started on soon. ☺️

I mean.. it's David Sedaris. I'm not sure what else to say

I just love David Sedaris. Especially on audio. But this might be a new favorite. He’s just so weird. And so funny.
fast-paced
