Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

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.
