THE BEST OF ME

Master humorist David Sedaris selected many of his (and our) favorite essays to narrate for this wonderful collection of his work. From "Glen's Homophobia Newsletter Vol. 3, No. 2" to a never-before-published essay, "Unbuttoned," Sedaris is at his best both as author and narrator. With his keen eye for detail and his scalpel wit, Sedaris delivers glimpses of his wonderfully weird world with these sometimes snarky, sometimes sweet commentaries. Sounding sassy, edgy, and delightful, Sedaris expands listeners' awareness of the frequent absurdities life throws his (and our) way, touching our emotions and tickling our funny bones. Even within the most personal, autobiographical stories, the themes are universal. Sedaris's observations are spot-on and good for a grimace or a giggle, making for perfect anytime listening.
