Happy-Go-Lucky

I enjoyed this, just design joy all of his books. DS is clever and insightful. I was kind of surprised at his revelations about his dad. And, I understand how other people here felt it was too dark, but I appreciated that he was honest about the past couple of years for us as a country and for him personally. I don't want him just to laugh out loud, but to recognize the humanity and reality he observes.

Everything David Sedaris writes I give five stars, but for this, I'll give him more!
Not every essay was typical Sedaris. But he was more vulnerable than in his other collections. More reflective and maybe a bit more mature. That is not to imply that this was sad in any way. He will still make you cry laughing. I just loved that he also made me think more and appreciate more after I read this (in three days).
This is my favorite collection of essays of all time. I'm glad I have the hardcover so I can read it dozens of times and lend it out–to very specific people–without destroying the book.
