This is the second Sedaris book I picked up and I must say: I’m not disappointed. This is an older book than the first one I read. It’s not as catchy as When You Are Engulfed in Flames but it’s still just as good.
If this were the first of Sedaris’s books I tackled I don’t know if I would have been moved to pick up every other book he’s written… but I would have enjoyed it anyway.
I really like going back to see how far a writer has come. It gives me hope that what I write now will not necessarily be how I writer later on. We become more defined and more experienced.
Again, I’ve really enjoyed this book, however, if you haven’t read When You Are Engulfed in Flames, I would recommend reading that one first.
