Industry Reviews "Here are images and blasphemies that nice people, and even Oprah and Phil, don't dare look at--fleshed out and told with the lucid, casual voice of intimate knowledge. Stories of cheery Christmas letters featuring infanticide, of the Gay and Famous..., of alcoholics and chainsmokers you can laugh with...Is this parody? It is...This collection is uplifting, nasty, sweet, and frightening, but at the heart of Sedaris's storytelling is humor born of compassion." Whole Earth Review - Allison Levin
