From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new book of essays taking his readers on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler\'s experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist\'s shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.
Klappentext:
Par. A guy walks into a bar . . .
From here the story could take many turns. A guy walks into a bar and meets the love of his life. A guy walks into a bar and finds no one else is there. When this guy is David Sedaris, the possibilities are endless. In Let\'s Explore Diabetes with Owls, Sedaris delights with twists of humour and intelligence, remembering his father\'s dinnertime attire (shirtsleeves and underpants) his first colonoscopy (remarkably pleasant) and the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered pygmy. By turns hilarious and moving, David Sedaris masterfully looks at life\'s absurdities as he takes us on adventures that are not to be forgotten.Par.
