Blurb:
Welcome to the wonderful world of America's foremost humorist Devid Sedaris, where learning French, like life, is littered with idiosyncratic delights...

'The Italian was attempting to answer the teacher's latest question when the Moroccan student interrupted, shouting, "Excuse me, but what's an Easter?" The teacher called upon the rest of us to explain. "It is a party for the little boy of God who call his self Jesus." "He die one day and then he go above of my head to live with your father." "He weared of himself the long hair and after he die, the first day he come back here for to say hello to the peoples." "He nice, the Jesus."

I had very high expectations of this writer, due to the praise by people that generally have similar taste in books. However, I don't think the book was especially funny, I found it funny at times and it is generally well written. I liked the quirky engineer father, very recognizable since I work in an engineering company. Heck, I am one myself, but I like to think I'm less explain-ey. :o)

I will not run to the book store for more of this writer, but when I come across another one of his books, I will happily read it.

p.130: Alisha changed into a dress, and I dropped them off at the hotel, returning an hour later to find Bonnie wandering the tearoom with her disposable camera.
p.193: There was always a blacksmith, a group of wandering patriots, and a collection of bonneted women hawking corn bread or gingersnaps made "the ol'-fashioned way."

Kreeg dit boek gisteren op de meeting van wandering. Ben benieuwd wat ik van de humor vind (en hoop er niet al te lang over te doen om daar achter te komen).

Well, this book is not nearly as funny as I expected, so after reading the first five or six stories I give up. I'll send the book to R'nee as soon as I have her address.
