Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim - David Sedaris

Steve howls with laughter every time he encounters David Sedaris, and so, after a spat, I bought him Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim as a conciliatory gesture. He howled. And I was done with my library pile and picked it up too.
I should say I’ve never found him as mind-numbingly funny as so many do, which I’m sure is a personal failing. But while I chuckled at times, I have to say this is the best Sedaris collection I’ve read — not for the humor, but for the slices of keen observation sandwiched between the slapstick. Recommend.
