Wonderful for fans of Sedaris’s work, but not a great place to start for newbies. Fans will find plenty to ponder as David evolves into the David Sedaris we know and love over the years, documented by a diary only a man like he could keep. His musings are random and haphazard, but always contain that eye for detail and that we love about him and his work. Good to gain a better understanding of his oeuvre but definitely not for everyone.
