Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Sedaris's career is closely linked with two things: audio (he was discovered by NPR's Ira Glass), and the personal lives of himself and his family. In Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, he describes fights with his boyfriend, and of his sister-in-law's difficult pregnancy. When sister Lisa complains about the stories involving the family, he writes about that, too. Sedaris's latest provides more evidence that he is a great humorist, memoirist and raconteur, and readers are lucky to have the opportunity to know him so well. Perhaps they are luckier still not to know him personally. --Leah Weathersby, Amazon.com -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Audio CD .

Based on the author's descriptions, nearly every member of his family is funny, although some (like sister Tiffany, perhaps) in a tragic way. In "The Change in Me," Sedaris remembers that his mother was good at imitating people when it helped drive home her point. High-voiced, lovably plain-spoken brother Paul (aka The Rooster, Silly P) has long been a favorite character for Sedaris readers, though Paul's story takes on a serious note when his wife has a difficult pregnancy. The author doesn't shy away from embarrassing moments in his own life, either, including a childhood poker game that strays into strange, psychological territory. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim provides more evidence that he is a great humorist, memoirist, and raconteur, and readers are lucky to have the opportunity to know him (and his clan) so well. His funny family feels like our own. Perhaps they are luckier still not to know him personally. --Leah Weathersby -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .

Kundenrezensionen
Although the topics are familiar - his stories deal with his childhood in Raleigh, his family and his life in France with his boyfriend Hugh - the tone has changed a bit. To me it seems like his writing has become more mature. He is not self deprecatingly making fun of his past anymore but seems to have made peace with this time of growing up. Also, his stories seem more self reflective to me, he cares now what we think about him.
Still, this literature needs a word of warning: do not attempt to read the stuff in public. I once did on the tube and only got the eyes from my fellow passengers as I was trying hard not to roar with laughter. No chance not to make a weirdo impression. This book is crazy stuff at its best. One cannot help but love it!
