Helpful Score: 5
So apparently I'm the one to rain on the David Sedaris parade.
I have listened to him tell his own stories on This American Life. And he is hilarious. When he tells those stories he holds you in the palm of his hand and you cannot help but laugh and be moved.
In print, forget about it. I read Dress Your Family and hated it. He comes off as bitchy and unbelievable. So I thought that I would try When you are engulfed and he still sounds bitchy and unbelievable. He is that guy who makes you roll your eyes and wish desperately you were at the dentist. For me, his humor just doesn't work in print.
From now on i'm going to avoid his books and hope I catch him on the radio.
