What I love about Sedaris is that unlike some other writers in his genre, he's not pretentious or snarky. He doesn't write above himself or his readers. He's just deadpan funny.
this book was entertaining, and smart, and i enjoyed sedaris' perspective on life, and family, and art, and crap. it was my first foray into his world, and i laughed out loud at least twice. that being said, the writing itself doesn't floor me -- he's a good storyteller, and i would love to be sitti...
