Negative Positive
Title: Sorry, but Sedaris is EONS above burroughs.
Review: Not just as a writer, but as an interesting person. And he's pretty much a normal person. It's amazing Burroughs is even halfway normal at all. Sedaris' family was eccentric, maybe a little strange. Burroughs' family, extended and real were certifiable, and I mean that in the most literal sense of the word. The fact that any of them were running around loose in the world is damn near terrifying. The Finches should have had the authorities called on them not only for promoting statuatory rape, but for living in filth and exposing children to potentially dangerous people and situations. Yes, there's a dark humor throughout the book, but overall, there's more of a sense of disbelief. It's truly a miracle one of them didn't really turn out to be a mass-murderer. Not a feel-good book.
