Blends humour and pathos. Impossible to read without hearing the author's distinctive delivery. We have relatives living not far from the N. Carolina coastal region described so we had particular awareness of the text.

I wanted to make it last, but could not resist reading in one go. Several times laughed myself to tears. The funniest writer I currently know, despite touching upon some dark subjects. Brilliant.

Already familiar with David Sedaris. Amazing humourous writer but with flashes of sadness and regret. Observational humour at its best. Based on his diaries but with lots of artistic licence and stream of consciousness observations thrown in.
