Very dark and deeply witty, David Sedaris knocks it out of the park with this collection of fictional and true stories from his life.

5.0

I listened to the 10th anniversary edition of this book where all the characters are voiced by their actors from the television adaptation. It was a phenomenal listen that I will be happy to listen to again.

informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

An interesting dive into the gendered and psychosexual nature of horror films up through the late 80’s, and the ways in which the genera of horror gives us windows into perceptions and feelings of gender, the controlled flow of anticipation and release, and sadomasochistic sexual fantasy. This book is primarily an analytical exploration of these topics from a cis-gendered and heteronormative standpoint with touches on queer representation.
