The author of Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk and Me Talk Pretty One Day, as well as a regular contributor on NPR and in The New Yorker, David Sedaris gives us 26 forays into his hilariously snippy world in this 2014 collection. Here are memories of his father's dinnertime attire (shirtsleeves and underpants), Sedaris's first colonoscopy (remarkably pleasant), and the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered Pygmy. From the perils of French dentistry and the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra to the squat-style toilets of Beijing and the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we are treated to the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences, plus a poem about dogs.
