short stories selected by David Sedaris.
I am pretty sure I didn't fall asleep during this audiobook, but there seemed to be only a handful of stories--maybe 5 or 6? Is there such a thing as an abridged audiobook of short stories?
They weren't as entertaining as Sedaris' own work, but as his favorites serve as a sort of window into his literary tastes. ( )

I desperately want my own copy of this now. It is that good. David Sedaris, you have damn good taste in short stories. Although that isn't much of a surprise, is it? ( )

A lovely collection of David Sedaris' favorite short stories, featuring Richard Yates, Charles Baxter, Jhumpa Lahiri, Katherine Mansfield, Alice Munro, Jean Thompson, Frank Gannon, Patricia Highsmith, Jincy Willett, Dorothy Parker, Joyce Carol Oates, Lorrie Moore, Flannery O'Connor, Amy Hempel, Akhil Sharma, Tim Johnston, and Tobias Wolff.

As Sedaris says in the introduction, "stories can save you." ( )

I love David Sedaris and I went to see him live... he recommended some books to read and then I found this collection he compiled. I am not a huge fan of short stories. I like them only if the story completes itself and isn't all about symbolism and themes. A few stories I loved and some I couldn't get into (... borderline hated). If you like short stories, David Sedaris is a great author with excellent taste and I am sure this compilation will not disappoint. If not, go into it realizing it's what it is... that's what got me through it. Thankfully there were a few stories to make the book worthwhile. ( )
