Sedaris, David. The Best of Me. New York: Little, Brown, 2020.
Funny how authors view their own oeuvre. I’ve always been fond of Sedaris’s work, but these selections, though engaging and humorous in places, did not really seem like his “best.” His best usually contains little sentiment, yet much bawdiness and irreverence. The collection seemed too “nice.” A friend of mine, however, thought the collection “vulgar,” so there you go.
