內容簡介: |
David Sedaris''s remarkable ability to uncover the hilarious
absurdity teeming just below the surface of everyday life is
elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this
new book of stories. Sedaris proceeds from bizarre conundrums of
daily life - the etiquette of having a lozenge fall from your mouth
into the lap of a fellow passenger or how to soundproof your
windows with LP covers against neurotic songbirds - to the most
deeply resonant human truths. Taking in the parasitic worm that
once lived in his mother-in-law''s leg, an encounter with a dingo
and the purchase of a human skeleton, and culminating in a
brilliant account of his attempt to quit smoking - in Tokyo - David
Sedaris''s sixth story collection is a fresh masterpiece of comic
writing.
