Title: I Was Afraid This Might Happen....(2.5 stars)
Review: From great anticipation comes greater disappointment. I don't even think that Sedaris was trying to pull together another set of unbearably funny stories. The settings and characters are certainly familiar, but here they are morbid, tepid, and even a bit contrived. His snaggletoothed humor is almost entirely absent; I didn't even crack a smile. In fact, I found myself cringing a few times. Oy.Will I unhesitatingly read David Sedaris again? Absolutely. I just won't suffer from the wait this time.
