Title: DEBUNKING THE MYTH
Review: I don't know if Sedaris realized it at the time or not, but just below the surface of his humorous collection of essays in "Dress Your Family..." is a peek into a disturbing and wholly disfunctional family life. Absent father-figure, over-bearing mother and other elements mentioned within are exactly the sort of things some researchers say is behind homosexuality. It seems as if David himself gives credence to bebunking the widely-accepted myth that homosexuals are "born that way" rather than being raised that way.Regardless, "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" was a quirky and quick summer read. I found myself laughing out-loud several times. No doubt about it, Sedaris is a gifted wordsmith and I may pick up more of his writings. Still, I can't help but wonder if he isn't trying to use his humorous self-expression as a way of dealing with an inner torment.
