Gift

The delivery was quick. This was something my daughter had on her Christmas list. She was very happy I was able to get it and read it the next day. Thank You!

It's Sedaris

How could other people find this reading too short. IT'S A PLAY. What's more, It's Amy AND David Sedaris. In other words, funny funny funny-you can't go wrong with those two.

A Quick Chuckle

Another Sedaris chuckle fest. This short script is a view into his twisted mind.

Laughed so hard I cried

I also saw this play performed and thought it was the funniest live theater I've ever seen. Though I agree that when reading a play you lose a lot (the energy of the performers and the audience reactions) I still think this one is worth having in your collection if you are a fan of either Sedaris.

Why bother anymore with that cloying elf?

...and his fatuous harpy of a sister...This guy has pulled eight sheeps of wool over way too many eyes. Let's take him, Eggers, Squeaky Vowell, Frangenides, and all the other ersatz nutz (a phrase which might inspire peals of squeals and subsequent chapters for any of these Supersponges) and write them out of their own self-suckling fables. This is Seinfeld without the neuroses, Pynchon without the mystery, Modernism without the resonance or wit...just a mess of weak minds and quirks masquerading as Personality.
