It's amazing that Sedaris manages to make witnessing an autopsy so funny. These are dark, visceral essays that look unflinchingly at the vulnerable ageing body and at death. In this collection, the black comedy that has always been a vital part of his writing comes fully to the fore.
Every one of these 22 essays has something unique and extraordinary to offer: what we have come to expect from a writer a previous reviewer said "can make Woody Allen appear ham-tongued, Oscar Wilde a drag". Sedaris writes about his everyday life, the co-stars being his family, partner Hugh, friends and neighbours. Reading this new collection of memoir-essay-stories by the master US humourist David Sedaris is like being tickled on the ribs by someone you love: you laugh hysterically, feel a mixture of excitement and irritation, and instinctively wriggle away as exhaustion sets in. by David Sedaris, Read by David Sedaris Includes unlimited streaming via the Bandcamp app, plus download in mp3, FLAC and more.
