Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris

4.0

Less funny, more sombre than his usual fare. At least, because a lot of the punchlines here are somewhat at his family members' expense, Sedaris balances this out with sentimental, self-reflexive notes. There are also political themes - in the sense of power, and perception - these made me uncomfortable and that seemed rather the point. I'm referring to "Chicken in the Henhouse" and "The Girl Next Door".

The ones that I found particularly affecting: "Hejira" and "The End of the Affair". "Nuit of the Living Dead" got a good chuckle out of me too.
