Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris - This collection of essays is based on the diary which Sedaris has kept every day for some thirty-odd years. Moving back and forth through David's life from childhood to his troubled adolescence to his strange new life as a literary icon, the quirky, odd, and ultimately hilarious hodge-podge of every day life within the Sadaris clan gives each reader a reason to both draw uncanny comparisons to his or her own familial sitatuions as well as laugh out loud in that no-holds-barred, tear-enducing sort of fashion.
I'd started this book several years ago upon the recommendation of a collegue and feel a bit sad that I had not finished it until just now. In the same fashion of my most favorite authors, the witty, hilarious, snarky memoir is something I intensely enjoy. Now that I am on to Sedaris, I will keep reading his other works and plan for a particularly funny summer of reading!
