Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules by David Sedaris

2.0

Short story collections are usually hit or miss given the form itself but this collection falls much more often on the "miss" side. I'm not sure what made Sedaris choose these pieces to include other than better works by these normally very adept authors. The Dorothy Parker and Jhumpa Lauri pieces stand out as two of the worthwhile pieces but overall I would skip this and just read a Sedaris-penned book.
