Laddar... Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim (2004)av David Sedaris
   Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Essays inspired by a very quirky family, childhood and singular view of the world. Author reads this and his voice alone makes it delightful. (  ) rebwaring | Aug 14, 2023 |  3.25 stars. i know there are plenty of his books left for me to read, but this remains my favorite so far. i do think i'm beginning to appreciate him more than i used to, and i also think that listening to him read the essays himself is the only way to do this. (but not the ones where he's recorded at an audience event. those don't work for me at all.) these are much more poignant and have much more depth than i give him credit for. and they're well written. even the last story, about drowning the mouse, which i originally hated, i've really come around to. this is a very good collection, and i think i will continue to read him. from aug 2013: of the three sedaris books i've read (me talk pretty one day and naked) this is definitely the best. there were parts that actually made me laugh out loud but it was also just very well written, and had a lot more depth than i was expecting. many of the stories both made me laugh and were also sad or touching in other ways, and all in just a few pages each. (3.5 stars) (  ) overlycriticalelisa | Jul 26, 2023 | 66 freixas | Mar 31, 2023 | Good recording, read by the author. cziering | Nov 27, 2022 | This audiobook helped me make the drive through Ohio and Pennsylvania. I especially enjoyed Sedaris's stories about and impersonation of his brother. I might be the last person on earth to listen to/read this collection of essays, but if you, too, have been under a rock I highly recommend this book. (  ) Chris.Wolak | Oct 13, 2022 |
 Sedaris is a careful writer, with a no-muss, no-fuss style that rarely misfires.  In a couple of this book's entries, the author's attempts to write humorously about subjects that are far from humorous result in essays that can be described only as contrived and cringe-making. They feel like strained, self-conscious efforts to generate material, and they should have been excised from this volume. The rest of the book shows Mr. Sedaris in fine funny form... It is the more shaded family reminiscences..., however, that form the heart of this book and that attest to the author's evolution from comic writer to full-fledged memoirist.

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. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
