Fantastic as usual. David Sedaris never fails to keep my attention and to make me laugh, cry, deep sigh and to create an entertaining, comedic and cathartic sense of “it's not just me/my family/my relationship;” a refreshing solidarity in all the ways being “abnormal” is really the only normalcy that exists. I think families and relationships can be/are messy but fun, torture and treasure, grounding(in chaotic ground), terrific, and terrible... all at the same time and I always feel better knowing that others have similar experiences. David (I feel like we should be on first name basis after this many years) has a way of thinking and looking at the world that I truly appreciate and enjoy, and his ability to convey his unique perspectives in writing is sensational. I will never not love his work and never stop reading/listening to whatever he puts out there. Thanks David, for another great listen that I couldn't stop listening to, fell asleep to, “rewound” the next morning, ignored my family and dogs to finish and loved every minute of listening. I always love the audiobooks he reads/narrates/performs, and this one has some pieces from a few of his live readings interspersed, which was an unexpected treat!
