David Sedaris has been described as having 'the ability to transform the mortification of everyday life into wildly entertaining art. That ability is elevated to wilder and more entertaining heights than ever in this delightful new book.

In essay after essay, Sedaris starts with bizarre everyday occurrences - such as having a lozenge fall from your mouth into the lap of a fellow passenger on a plane - and finds in them the most deeply resonant human truths. Culminating in a brilliant account of his venture to Tokyo in order to quit smoking, David Sedaris's sixth essay collection is a new masterpiece of comic writing.
