"Sedaris is a remarkably skilled storyteller and savvy essayist....And based, on this latest collection, he's getting only better." ---Los Angeles Times A guy walks into a bar car and...From here the story could take many turns. When the guy is David Sedaris, the possibilities are endless, but the result is always the same: he will both delight you with twists of humor and intelligence and leave you deeply moved.Sedaris remembers his father's dinnertime attire (shirtsleeves and underpants), his first colonoscopy (remarkably pleasant), and the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered Pygmy. The common thread? Sedaris masterfully turns each essay into a love story: how it feels to be in a relationship where one loves and is loved over many years, what it means to be part of a family, and how it's possible, through all of life's absurdities, to grow to love oneself.With LET'S EXPLORE DIABETES WITH OWLS, David Sedaris shows once again why he is widely considered the "the funniest writer in America" (O, the Oprah Magazine).

Holy shit, this went from mildly amusing to meh to holy fuck he is a raging crazy person. First, the chapter on killing sea turtles while his parents allowed it really bothered me. THEN he goes on to a part about how he wants to remind the world about Jesus. Okay, fair enough. Oh no, he wants to sen...
Διασκεδαστικός αλλά και αρκετά φίλαυτος.
Funny stuff. Definitely more "classic Sedaris" than [b:Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary|7857195|Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk A Modest Bestiary|David Sedaris|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1279831428s/7857195.jpg|10995406], but not in my top two or three of his books.

This is my first exposure to David Sedaris' writing, and I doubt it'll be my last, but this is also the first time I've ever dinged a rating for content. The writing is incredibly good and hysterically funny. I listened to the audio and Sedaris does his own narration - as he should, because I don...
The audiobook is narrated hilariously by the author. Warning: if you listen to this out in public, walking around or running, you WILL laugh out loud and seem quite crazy. But it's well worth the risk.
