Brilliant writing! So sharp and witty, I found myself laughing out loud uncontrollably, unable to even read aloud to friends and family the lines that had me cackling because I was laughing too hard. ( )

Very funny indeed, probably the funniest of all his books. The only book I've read which makes obsessive compulsive disorder funny. ( )

For my sister Lisa
First words
I'm thinking of asking the servants to wax my change before placing it in the Chinese tank I keep on my dresser.
Quotations
Every gathering has its moment. As an adult, I distract myself by trying to identify it, dreading the inevitable downswing that is sure to follow. The guests will repeat themselves one too many times, or you'll run out of dope or liquor and realize that it was all you ever had in common.

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Reviews (ISBN 0316777730, Paperback)

Hip radio comedy fans and theater folks who belong to the cult of Obie-winning playwright/performer David Sedaris must kill to get this book. These would be fans of the scaldingly snide Sedaris's hilariously described personal misadventures like The Santaland Diaries (a monologue about his work as an elf to a department store Santa) seen off-Broadway in 1997. In a series of similarly textured essays, Sedaris takes us along on his catastrophic detours through a nudist colony, a fruit-packing plant, his own childhood, and a dozen more of the world's little purgatories.
