A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to read without laughing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler’s lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say “give it to me” in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut if all you expect to find in Sedaris’s work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. Here, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms—at long last—with the other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that led\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e Time Out New York \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto call David Sedaris “the funniest man alive”, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Best of Me \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003espans a career spent watching and learning and laughing—quite often at himself—and invites readers deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Sedaris's funniest and most memorable stories in one collection.
