À propos de cet audio

 Once again, David Sedaris brings together a collection of essays so uproariously funny and profoundly moving that his legions of fans will fall for him all over again.

He tests the limits of love when Hugh lances a boil from his backside, and pushes the boundaries of laziness when, finding the water shut off in his house in Normandy, he looks to the water in a vase of fresh cut flowers to fill the coffee machine.

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, David Sedaris' sixth essay collection has been avidly anticipated.

Ce que les critiques en disent

2008 Grammy Nominee, Best Spoken Word Album

"Older, wiser, smarter and meaner, Sedaris...defies the odds once again by delivering an intelligent take on the banalities of an absurd life." (Kirkus Reviews)
"This latest collection proves that not only does Sedaris still have it, but he's also getting better....Sedaris's best stuff will still - after all this time - move, surprise, and entertain." (Booklist)

The cough drop landing in her lap? His shattered perception of the foreign taxi cab driver - it was a blast! Loved it.

David Sedaris narrates well, and I enjoyed the bass between stories. Laugh out loud moments.

Hilarious!

This collection of short stories, read by the author, is precisely the sort of entertainment fans have come to expect from David Sedaris. While not as laugh-out-loud funny as "Me Talk Pretty One Day," the stories are still compelling, and at times even nostalgic. Overall, this collection is a very satisfying aural experience.

Witty and Poignant

The main character is a snob, but he's honest about it. He behaves like a real human being. He makes snap judgment, then judgment, then mentally reconsiders. He behaves charitably, then think that maybe the person in need brought it on themselves. He'll refuse help, then mentally berate himself because he doesn't know their story. He'll criticize litterbugs and selfishness but then behave in the same manner. BUT HE CONFESSES IT. in short, he's human and one with enough self-awareness to be honest about his shortcomings. Often humorous, ALWAYS relatable, you should probably check this book out
