You'll Laugh Again, and Maybe Cry

David never disappoints. This book is a collection of some previously published vignettes and some newer material too. And although his signature zany style is still very much intact, there's an undercurrent of something more. While we've all enjoyed being voyeurs into the world of the Sedaris family for many years, this book is like being in the house when the cameras stop rolling, or when he puts the pen down. You may feel a tad guilty for peeking all those other times, but then at the end, you hope that maybe, because you love them all, it was okay that you were there. There's more philosophy woven into the humor which makes you think about your own place in relationships of your own, but he still delivers this message with a twinkle and a wink. It's the mark of genius, and maybe he's right. This may be his best yet.
