THEMES AND VARIATIONS An Essay

Author David Sedaris delivers this honest, funny essay with his usual flair. After being snubbed by an indifferent author, Sedaris promises himself that when he becomes famous, he will get to know his fans. And he does. He talks to them, learns from them, and shares those gems with us. Sedaris riffs on such varied topics as how difficult it is to give money away to strangers, the bizarre assortment of objects lost (and found) inside the male rectum, women removing their bras after work--not all waiting to get home to do it, and so much more. This is a short look at the crazy world we live in by one of its most talented observer-humorists. Only one complaint: It's too short! S.J.H. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
