ajensen24 's review for:

The Best of Me by David Sedaris
5.0

Having binged his books at the beginning of the year, this collection of Sedaris’ self described “best works” was a culmination of pre and post COVID memories. Much like his stories, this pandemic has gotten darker and harder to sit through. What once was a simple story about child like wonder of a family with no television quickly becomes the story of losing a sibling to suicide. Sedaris’ voice and humor is masterful, his stories are unique and sometimes gut wrenching, and I found myself satisfied with the pieces picked. I would say that this is a good book for those looking to jump into Sedaris and those who are seasoned readers.
