i was so excited to read another amazing book by david sedaris..and then i realized that he didnt write this, he just wrote the introduction and put together the group of short stories. im not one who likes short stories because i feel like just as im finally getting to know the characters and enjoy the story- it ends.
this was a GREAT compilation! my favorite by far was Joyce Carol Oates story. after reading it i went out and ordered more of her books. id already ready Jhumpa Lahiri's story which was in the book by the same name, and i was only bored by one story.
the anthology also includes Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party," Flannery O'Connor's "Revelation," and stories by Alice Munro, Lorrie Moore, Tobias Wolff, Dorothy Parker and Patricia Highsmith.
an epilogue by Sarah Vowell explains that the proceeds from this collection will go to 826NYC, a nonprofit tutoring program designed to help students learn to write
