About this book

David Sedaris considers middle age through the domestic routines, irritations and social performances of life with his partner Hugh. An opening essay follows their changing circumstances as hosts, from cramped accommodations in Normandy to a home in West Sussex with space for visitors. These autobiographical essays use comedy to examine hospitality, private habits and the effort of appearing agreeable in company.

About the author

David Sedaris - BDeBooks
David Sedaris

Read a diary entry on American radio in 1992 about working as a Christmas elf at Macy's, and turned a job cleaning apartments into a career. The essays are about his family, mainly, and they are funnier and crueller than the affectionate reputation suggests: his mother's drinking, his father's favouritism, his sister Tiffany's death.
