Pretty disappointed by Sedaris’ last compilation of fictional essays “Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk,” I was reservedly excited about his latest release. Luckily, Sedaris returned to mostly personal essays, an area in which he shines. I was able to see Sedaris speak at the Auditorium Theater last November, so some of the stories were familiar, but all ranged from amusing to hilarious, filled with Sedaris’ trademark wry commentary on his family, life as an expat in both England and France and the banal trials of growing older. I highly recommend this title, along with most others in his collection, all of which are available at Acorn.
