Synopsis: Once again, David Sedaris brings together a collection of essays so uproariously funny and profoundly moving that his legions of fans will fall for him once more.He tests the limits of love when Hugh lances a boil from his backside, and pushes the boundaries of laziness when, finding the water shut off in his house in Normandy, he looks to the water in a vase of fresh cut flowers to fill the coffee machine.From armoring the windows with LP covers to protect the house from neurotic songbirds to the awkwardness of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a sleeping fellow passenger on a plane, David Sedaris uses lifes most bizarre moments to reach new heights in understanding love and fear, family and strangers.Culminating in a brilliantly funny (and never before published) accountof his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedariss sixth essay collection will be avidly anticipated.
