Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
5.0
Honest, embarrissing, shocking, akward, laugh out loud funny. Sedaris is one of the best non-fiction, short story writers around. Sadly sometimes to his family's desperation, as he himself admits, this collection of stories moves from stories about his childhood, through teenagehood up to adulthood and gives an uncensored look at the life and times of the Sedaris family.
One story is my absolute favorite, for purely chauvenistic reasons - Six to Eight Black Man is about a particular Dutch Holiday tradition seen through the eyes of a bemused and slightly jealous foreigner, no scrap that, American (actually an important part of why the story is funny). As is often the case, seeing yourself through the eyes of another leads to hilarity and incensement. If your not Dutch, it's just an odd and amusing tale...
If you're looking for a genuinly funny book to read, filled with memorable passages and jaw-dropping anecdotes, pick this up!
