David and Amy Sedaris romp through the former's jocular essays of personal humiliation and quotidian folly. David, bestselling author of Barrel Fever, has a high-pitched, pimply, woebegone delivery, befitting the tone and subject matter of his reminiscences. He's a better raconteur than writer. Indeed, the readers' mischievousness adds considerable enjoyment to a mildly amusing text derived from and better done by others (for example, Jean Shepherd, Woody Allen, Dave Barry).
