David Sedaris is back to his normal writing. The last two books he wrote were a disappointment but this seems to be back to his normal sarcastic, in your face, laugh out loud humor. He spends a lot of time recollecting his relationship with his father whether it’s his father putting someone else’s son on a pedestal or his father calling him every week to see if he has scheduled a colonoscopy -- every story is guaranteed to make you laugh. He takes you on multiple journeys to France, England, Australia, Germany, Japan, and China where he talks about the humor of learning new languages through Pimsleur, picking up litter in the countryside of England, the horrors of getting an England “green card” and going through customs, the panic of someone stealing your passport, the mindset in Europe after Obama was elected, but the best was probably his run-in with authentic Chinese food. If you like the old Sedaris, you will love his new book.
