內容簡介: |
A riotous collection of memoirs which explores the absurd
hilarity of modern life and creates a wickedly incisive portrait of
an all-too-familiar world. It takes Sedaris from his humiliating
bout with obsessive behaviour in ''A Plague of Tics'' to the title
story, where he is finally forced to face his naked self in the
company of lunatics. At this soulful and moving moment, he brushes
cigarette ashes from his pubic hair and wonders what it all means.
This remarkable journey into his own life follows a path of self-
effacement and a lifelong search for identity leaving himself both
under suspicion and over dressed.
