This one’s a hoot! You’ve gotta love that twisted point of view!

Well known as the memoir writing brother of actress Amy Sedaris, David has made a place for himself in the literary world with laugh-out-loud stories of his youthful-family years, the stumbling blocks of artistic fame and romantic folly. Fans of Augusten Burroughs will appreciate his wry wit and no-hold-punches at human dysfunction.

This book wasn't as fabulous as Dress your Family in Corduroy and Denim, but it's a near thing. As someone who dissects sentences and practices conversations, I heartily enjoyed the subject of this book: communication. And while I do enjoy Sedaris' thoughts on life as a stream of conscious narrative, how he interacts with his family are my favorite stories. and there's great ones in here. From Amy's "good seeing you David, and good luck beating the rape charge!" to Paul's potty mouth that will stick by you through any crisis. Sedaris has a phenomenal talent for making you believe your seeing through his eyes and listening inside his head. It's better than a movie.
