Meanwhile - Happy Lunar New Year from February 1 - it's the year of the Tiger. Hear me roar!
As witnessed through the years, I love David Sedaris. His humor just cracks me up. His latest collection of diaries - Carnival of Snackery 2003-2020 - once again have a zillion gem entries.
cover blurb - If it's naval gazing you're after, you've come to the wrong place; ditto treacly self-examination. His observations are outward: a fight between two men on a bus, dirty jokes from book signings, or just afternoons with his equally outrageous bonkers sister, Amy.
These diaries cover a lot of travel and every airplane encounter is a hoot. New administrations, new restrictions on speech and conduct, and trash. No issue is left untouched. And there's Hugh, his husband. The man must be a saint - he definitely can put in the last word (at least per David's entry of the day. )
I quickly looked through to pick an entry as an example of David Sedaris' comic genius. I found myself laughing out loud again and truly could not pick one.
So, trust me - enjoy the Carnival of Snackery. You can't just read one.
