Description:
When he tries to make coffee and finds the water turned off, David seriously considers using the contents of a flower vase, leading to a bizarre series of associations, from the French countryside to a hilariously embarrassing memory of a drug deal in a North Carolina trailer. Sedari's new book takes the reader from the bizarrely mundane—a throat lozenge falling out of his mouth and landing in a fellow passenger's lap on an airplane or armoring his windows with LP covers to protect his home from neurotic songbirds—to universal truths, culminating in a peerless account of his trip to Tokyo in an attempt to quit smoking. David Sedari's sixth collection of short stories is a masterful piece of comedy from an author to be cherished. (Seattle Times)
