About this ebook
David Sedaris plays in the snow with his sisters. He goes on vacation with his family. He gets a job selling drinks. He attends his brother's wedding. He mops his sister's floor. He gives directions to a lost traveler. He eats a hamburger. He has his blood sugar tested. It all sounds so normal, doesn't it? In his newest collection of essays, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives -- a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is another unforgettable collection from one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today.

This was darker than Me Talk Pretty One Day, yet still hilarious at moments, making the whole thing seem more honest and introspective. Be prepared for some stories to make you somewhat uncomfortable, and not every story has a funny ending, but it is still one his best books.
That said, Six to Eight Black Men made me cry I was laughing so hard.

A collection of witty, sarcastic, and funny short stories about the author and his family. Sedaris cynicism will not fail to bring a smile on the reader face.

It was a funny book with the perfect touch of drama. I wish the part where he was a boy would be longer, though.
