Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris

dark emotional funny lighthearted sad fast-paced

3.0

It’s been a long time since I’ve read a David Sedaris book through. I can’t remember if I read this one before or just a couple of the stories that ran in like The New Yorker previously. Anyway, basically what I expect from him now - some really charming and funny stories, some misanthropy that goes beyond tolerable, and enough cultural insensitivity to make me squirm. This one also includes some strictly-fiction short stories and I really hate his fiction. I think they reveal a casual disdain for people that’s only hinted at in his essays. So, whatever.
