The Best of Me by David Sedaris
3.0

My first book from David Sedaris. This is a compilation of Essays. He is the one reading the Audio book so I'd highly recommend it. He touches upon a wide variety of topics around humans and society. Some of the recurring themes are around family relations, envy/jealousy/social comparison, racism, homophobia. Some of the stories are very personal about his own relationship and his family. Some are more metaphorical of humans and society, through the use of animals. It definitely gets into pretty dark humor but I found that part pretty interesting. Some other stories I didn't really get.
