Humor
"David Sedaris's ability to transform the mortification of
everyday life into wildly entertaining art," (The Christian
Science Monitor) is elevated to wilder and more entertaining
heights than ever in this remarkable new book. Trying to make coffee when the water is shut off, David
considers using the water in a vase of flowers and his chain
of associations takes him from the French countryside to a
hilariously uncomfortable memory of buying drugs in a mobile
home in rural North Carolina. In essay after essay, Sedaris
proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life-having a
lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow
passenger on a plane or armoring the windows with LP covers
to protect the house from neurotic songbirds-to the most
deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant
account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking,
David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece
of comic writing from "a writer worth treasuring" (Seattle
Times).
