David Sedaris's truths is so much better than his fiction. Unfortunately 3/4 of this book are fictional work which try so hard to be shocking than they aren't that great. The last few stories which are based on his real life are hysterical. I think his perception of the world around him is Sedaris at his best. Although Santaland Diaries is one of his best stories ever - I would recommend some of his later books before Barrel Fever (especially Me Talk Pretty Someday)
