Thank you. I read all his books many years ago. Mr. Sedaris has such a unique gift for story-telling. I love it. His voice is somehow perfect for telling them as well :)
Rich and meaty taste,.....this collection has everything, so many tales and fabrications. I was pleased I could lose myself in them. Many are very relatable to my own up bringing and others, too strange. All were quite entertaining.
7/2024.......Holy cow, the first hour was not appealing to me, even though I love his story telling. Grandma Ya-ya,.....was a horrible tale. It got better when he switched to describing being a child afflicted by ticks. I could totally relate to a father obsessed with fears about getting maimed, as my own father tended to think about accidents waiting to happen, instilling in me a fear of living. Which was weird,...but my Dad was a business man, and did nothing outside in the elements. If it was going to rain, it was likely to turn into the storm of the century, and they never materialized. Maybe he got that way later in his life,....I don't know why he was so worried. Mom had her own exaggerated worries,.....if I got passed over for a raise, at my job, it was because my employer must have hated Jews and was a closeted Nazi. That fear of plotting undercover Nazis', was a constant fear of hers. She grew up in America, in a Jewish neighborhood, but was about 16 years old when the Nazis began their reign of terror, in Europe.
Very glad to have found this. Thanks!
Thank you so much!! These are so hard to find. Your a peach!
One of the few authors who draws out audible laughter from me. ❤
I put this on to help me fall asleep, 3 hrs & 2 minutes later I'm still laughing !
This book is a modern classic. I've re-read it many times, and always enjoy the title story featured for the last chapter.
I love this so much.
❤
Thanks.

Amy sedaris’ Voice in so recognisable. That family inherited some funny individuals
"Who's counting" "your goddamn math teacher"!

Please, give us some more Sedaris?
I have read hard back copies of his books on mass transit and laughed outloud to point of pee.
Thank you. 😊
I loved all of it. Was the female voice Amy?

It’s much much funnier when you read it than when you listen to it.
Why a picture of Hallstatt?
Thought the same
