adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Like many reviewers I found the inclusion of short fiction somewhat jarring. I bought this book after reading Me Talk Pretty Someday, and I guess I was expecting more of the same. Enjoyable enough, just not what I was expecting Collection of short stories (I didn't read them all, but thoroughly enjoyed "Glen's Homophobia Newsletter") and essays. Includes "Santaland Diaries," in which he recounts the Christmas he worked as an elf at Macy's Department store in New York. VERY entertaining! Pleasant series of stories about exaggerated characters and others from David's life and family including his time in France and working as an elf at Maceys I didn't like it as much as his memoir books but most of it was still entirely entertaining. As with many other Sedaris books, I generally prefer the audio book version, as his delivery fits so well. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com (ISBN 0316779423, Paperback)A collection of stories and essays by humorist and NPR commentator David Sedaris based upon his own experiences and the hidden perversity that can be found in Anytown, U.S.A. Here are images and blasphemies that nice people don't dare look at--blatantly exposed and told with the clear, casual voice of intimate knowledge. Sedaris' humor is born of compassion and his tales range from the sharing of cheery Christmas letters featuring infanticide, to experiences of the Gay and Famous (Charlton Heston and Elizabeth Dole, for example), to the lives of siblings named Hope, Faith, Charity and Adolph and to alcoholics and chain smokers you can laugh with.(retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:10 -0400) A primeira ronda de testes foi já encerrada.

I enjoyed reading this book so much that I have to put it up for mooching so others can enjoy reading it. That joy has already been shared by my fellow commuters, who would invariably look amused or alarmed when I would attempt to stop myself from laughing out loud while reading this book. (
