I am just going to say it. I thoroughly enjoy David Sedaris.
We listened to another one of his books on the way home and found ourselves laughing with unabashed glee. David Sedaris seems to come in contact with the most unique characters. That is probably not that unusual, but the way he embraces those characters and then writes about them with such laser-focused precision, well that is unique. His descriptions of the people he encounters is what has me enamored with his writing. From the merchant, he met while trying to find Hugh the perfect gift of a stuffed owl (spoiler - the merchant also had a severed arm and the skeleton of a pygmy). To his first girlfriend to the idiosyncrasies of his childhood in such a large family. It is all equal parts fascinating and hysterical.
Bottom Line - David Sedaris has a style that is uniquely entertaining. His self-deprecating observations on life, love, his family, and the world around him is not to be missed!
