Title: Sedaris' Best Yet!
Review: Every one of David Sedaris' books has given me moments of pure joy. Humor like his is wonderful. With only words, it is very difficult to be funny. But, Sedaris does it.His is a rare gift.This book stands out among his others in that most of the last half deals with his encounters with French language and culture. In this group of essays, he explores various related themes -- the difficulty of being unable to master the language, feeling insecure in an unfamiliar country, etc.Sedaris isn't afraid to let us know who he is. By opening up to us, we get to see the world his way. And find the humor in situations which he tells us about.The best thing about this book is that by allowing us to see things his way, we experience something like what he tells us he dealt with in regard to French encounters. And, this opportunity to see from a new perspective is great!Keep in mind though -- this is not a boring World Cultures book of essays. This is first rate, intelligent humor.
