A review by pipercurda
Children Playing Before a Statue of Hercules by David Sedaris

3.0

sedaris is one of my favorites and I mistakenly thought this was another of his books. in fact, it is a collection of essays and short stories that are some of sedaris’ favorites and, upon learning this, i was still just as intrigued to read the words that someone I enjoy enjoys.

some of the stories were great, some were less great. there wasn’t much cohesiveness, though I’m not sure that should be expected of an anthology. more than anything, it was good exposure to some more prolific writers that i’ve yet to read.

would give 3.5 stars if possible.
