Title: Sedaris can be more than merely "funny"
Review: I found this book to be nothing like Sedaris's previous work. There are funny essays, and I often laughed out loud. The usual crowd will chat about it and list it as "one of my all-time favorite books." Beyond that, essays like "Who's the Chef" and "The Girl Next Door" seem to me to be the real heavy-hitting ones in the book. I think Sedaris is getting a lot more interesting and complex. I look forward to his next book but am confident that if he continues to be more than just "funny" his rank on the sales list will drop rapidly. Too bad.
