About this listen
Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of daily life - the etiquette of having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger or how to soundproof your windows with LP covers against neurotic songbirds - to the most deeply resonant human truths.
Taking in the parasitic worm that once lived in his mother-in-law's leg, an encounter with a dingo and the purchase of a human skeleton, and culminating in a brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking - in Tokyo - David Sedaris' sixth story collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic writing.

david sadaris is discriptive and funny, he makes a good narator that suits the obsevational critical comedy he commands so well.

Very entertaining
I’m a big fan of David Sedaris. And listening to him reading his own stories is perfection :-)

Thoroughly entertaining!
David Sedaris narrating his own work is fantastic, narrated by anyone else it would not be the same. His stories are simultaneously ordinary and hilarious. I found myself chuckling out loud in public on numerous occasions while listening to this book.
