I have read just about every David Sedaris book. His books are a great illustration of interweaving humor into poignant sadness. This text is more focused on his relationship with his partner and their adventures in France and Tokyo.

Those who are trying to quit smoking will find one of his essays quite compelling. The other reflection about crazy birds, the skeleton, and the translation of signage will have you laughing out loud.

While not as good as Met Talk Pretty or Corduroy Dress, Sedaris still does not disappoint with his placement of incredibly ironic observations.
