It's not easy being David Sedaris. Growing up in a family that believes that television is the devil. With a mother capable of locking you out of the house in the middle of the snow. Playing strip poker when you are still a child. Pending that rich aunt. Posing as a preteen hippy. Being kicked out of your own home for being gay. Or harshly criticized for making your family, all its hilarious and tragicomic miseries, the subject of what you write. In reason for being the most successful living humorous author on the planet. It's not easy being David Sedaris. But the complicated thing would be a world without it, without autobiographical stories like these 22 jewels, which show us that laughter is the most valid response to the unexpected, the absurdity of life, the fearfulness of the closest and, of course, the involuntary funny.
