About this product

Product Information

David Sedaris remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this new book of stories. Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life - the etiquette of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger or how to soundproof your windows with LP covers against neurotic songbirds - to the most deeply resonant human truths. Taking in the parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law s leg, an encounter with a dingo, the purchase of a human skeleton and culminating in a brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking - in Tokyo - David Sedaris' sixth story collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic writing.

  • Comic writing

    This was a fun read. Almost every chapter had a comic twist. In places it had me chortling our loud. Guaranteed to cheer you up on the dullest of days.

  • Excellent

    Very funny. Maybe not in a laugh out loud sort of way, but hilarious anyway. The final smoking section is particularly good. One day I will tire of grammatical, but slightly strange translations from Japanese to English, but I am not there yet.
