Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

Funny, but not his funniest.

Incisive, hilarious and emotional, I just love David's voice on the page. Though in terms of his actual voice - David Sedaris does a mean Billie Holiday. I'm not kidding.

While I found myself smiling at a few of the jokes, many of the short stories left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I don't mind dark huor, but this humor was often cruel, at the expense of someone less fortunate, the author seemed to have no qualms tossing around racial slurs with the unspoken excuse of these memoirs taking place in “different times”, and the final story centered around a suffering animal that finally needed to be drowned.

I've read Sedaris before and enjoyed his writing style, but I'm not sure I'll be coming back for more. Not my cup of tea.

I'm waiting to read a Sedaris book that isn't completely hilarious. So many great scenes and moments captured in here.

If you want to get an insight into finding comedy in the little moments and people that make up life, look no further.

This book is a little weaker respect previous books of Sedaris. Themes are the same, tone is the some, humour is the same. So maybe this is getting a little repetitive.

This book was so much better than When You Are Engulfed in Flames. Literally laugh out loud funny, and I enjoyed, as always, Sedaris' stories about his family.

My favorite David Sedaris book so far. How does his family put up with him?
