Format:Paperback
Sedaris is one of America's greatest and funniest writers. I love all his books as I do those of J.T. McCrae, such as his -Katzenjammer- or the works of Kurt Vonnegut with his -Welcome to the Monkeyhouse-. All are great, but Sedaris distills the humour and makes it razor sharp. There's no one who can touch him. Top of the mark, this one. While a lot of people rate his books; usually "Me Talk pretty One Day" is at the top, for me, "Dress" is number one.

Loved this book, though it was third in place for my Sedaris collection. "Me Talk" is first, followed by "Naked," then this one. On the same great humour and wit as the works of Burroughs or Jackson McCrae (think his --Katzenjammer--), DYFICAD is a must for fans of not only Sedaris, but humour as well.

Mr. Sedaris was a great discovery for someone like me who usually stick to classics like Hemingway, Dickens and Irving. Sedaris sees the world in such a funny way - reading this book made me laugh out loud many times.

Boring
I have only managed a few pages of this book as I found it really boring, I will keep it on my bookself though as I have to finish it at some point.

Ok but not blown away
I enjoyed the radio monologues and thought I'd give the books a go. Perhaps I was expecting too much. I enjoyed it to start with but after a while it fell a bit flat. Read more

Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
This man is hilarious. Especially live (BBC Radio-4 has featured readings by him). His comic timing in a live audience makes all the difference, it turns what could be mistaken for... Read more

a good, quick read
I love listening to this man on the radio, he has a very dry, assured wit and it helps to think of how he would narrate it when you read the book. Read more

Another hilarious book from David Sedaris
Having listened to David Sedaris' podcasts and really enjoying them, I decided to get this book. Very funny and moving at times as well.

A Sedaris Taster...
I have most of the David Sedaris books and I love his style and bitchiness and gritiness. I decided to leave a review on this one as I think it's probably the best one if you are... Read more

Poignant rather than funny - at least in writing
I'm not a fan of the author's radio monologues. I don't mean that I don't like them - I haven't listened much. Read more

Not his best but still very good
I was a little disappointed with this book, feeling that it was not quite as good as the other books I had read by David Sedaris. Read more
