Stellar Sedaris— compilation of classics
This review covers both the print version as well as the audiobook.A solid collection for longtime Sedaris fans, as well as a great intro for those just becoming acquainted with his writing for the first time.Of particular interest is that these “favorite” essays are the choosing of the author himself.I purchased both the print copy & Audible versions because of the added hilarity of hearing Sedaris read his own work.Re: the audiobook version it should be noted that the chapter order differs from the print book.Additionally, a couple of essays have been newly edited, 2-3 pp. worth, giving them a fresh feel. One of my favs, “Incomplete Quad”, now reads tighter, the excised parts unmissed.Chapter 12 (audiobook) is a real treat: A 54 min. long interview by Paul Constant. Sedaris is questioned about his take on the pandemic, how quarantine affects his writing, daily habits, etc. He also remarks on several of his titles, offering evaluations (incl. some regrets) in hindsight. It concludes with a “lightning round”, largely re: his amusing plans upon his demise, such as how he’ll finally ‘get into Yale’.The physical print book: sewn binding, with bright yellow boards capped with cheery red head/tail bands. Dust jacket has raised lettering in a variety of colorful fonts. Pages are deckle-edged, with lt. cream colored, lighter-weight paper*. (See photo)The overall presentation hints at a fun read— and it is!*While I’m not fond of the thin paper so many publishers use as of late, it does make for easier carrying for ‘real book’ loving readers such as myself.(Altho I own e-books & various e-readers, I’ve never warmed to them. Doubtful I ever will.)As per Sedaris... his next offering will be a “second volume of (his) diaries”.As with nearly every title from this author— highly recommended!Thanks for reading,-CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer
