pamelabaker 's review for:

Barrel Fever by David Sedaris

2.0

---

This rating is a reflection of his fiction. The title story was okay, but the rest... The lack of resonance combined with the gimmicky feeling story setups makes these stories painful to read. You can read his essay voice in some of these pieces, but it's a different humor. It's a mean, self-centered kind of humor that made me keep asking, what's the point?
