Oh David--I'll pretend we're on a first name basis, and if it sounds like I'm swooning it's because I probably am--making me laugh at what people in others countries yell when they get cut off in traffic. I feel like feather-haired Emma Chambers in Notting Hill when she says to Julia Roberts We're best friends already then. How have I never read anything by you before? I'd heard of you, your shelf was always overflowing in the bookstore where I used to work, but it took a stranger dropping your latest book in a Little Free Library for me to pick it up. Why would anyone get rid of this book? I can only assume it's because they wanted to share you with the world. Has anyone ever called you the American Alan Bennett? What can I say, you speak to me. And I don't mean on audiobook. Maybe for the next one I should go back to your first collection, just to see if I like older Sedaris--if I just say David nobody's going to know which David I'm talking about--better? I have a suspicion that I might.
