Summary
These essays from David Sedaris find the humanity in the most mundane, bizarre, and embarrasing moments life can bestow upon us. Hilarious and moving, listeners will relate to these tales from the author's life.
From armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds to the awkwardness of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a sleeping fellow passenger on a plane, David Sedaris uses life's most bizarre moments to reach new heights in understanding love and fear, family and strangers. Culminating in a brilliantly funny account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, Sedaris' sixth essay collection will be avidly anticipated.
