Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. Reprint. Review. . . refreshing, enlightening and hysterically funny . . . -- Whole Earth ReviewProduct DescriptionIn David Sedaris's world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred. Sedaris's collection of essays and stories is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tries to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; a bitter Santa abuses the elves. With a perfect eye and a voice infused with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes stories and essays that target the soulful ridiculousness of our behavior. Barrel Fever is like a blind date with modern life, and anything can happen.Amazon.com ReviewA collection of stories and essays by humorist and NPR commentator David Sedaris based upon his own experiences and the hidden perversity that can be found in Anytown, U.S.A. Here are images and blasphemies that nice people don't dare look at--blatantly exposed and told with the clear, casual voice of intimate knowledge. Sedaris' humor is born of compassion and his tales range from the sharing of cheery Christmas letters featuring infanticide, to experiences of the Gay and Famous (Charlton Heston and Elizabeth Dole, for example), to the lives of siblings named Hope, Faith, Charity and Adolph and to alcoholics and chain smokers you can laugh with.From Publishers Weekly'Morning Edition' commentator Sedaris presents a satirical collection of stories about contemporary American society.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.Excerpt.

Did you see it? The other guests were men who continue to love too much. Those men were in a place I used to be, and I felt sorry for them. I was the guest who went from loving too much to being loved too much. Everybody loves me. Im the most important person in the lives of almost everyone I know and a good number of people Ive never even met. I dont say this casually; Im just pointing out my qualification.Because I know the issue from both sides, I am constantly asked for advice. People want to know how I did it. They want to know if I can recommend a therapist. How much it will cost, how long it might take to recover. When asked, I tell them, like Im telling you, that I have never visited a therapist in my life. I worked things out on my own. I dont see it as any great feat. I just looked at the pattern of my life, decided I didnt like it, and changed. The only reason I agreed to appear on Oprahs panel was because I thought her show could use a little sprucing up. Oprah is a fun girl, but youd never know it from watching that show of hers, that parade of drunks and one-armed welfare cheats. And of course I did it to help people. I try and make an effort whenever I can.Growing up, my parents were so very into themselves that I got little love and attention. As a result, I would squeeze the life out of everyone I came into contact with. I would scare away my dates on the first night by telling them that this was it, the love experience Id been waiting for. I would plan our futures. Everything we did together held meaning for me and would remain bright in my memory. By the second date, I would arrive at the boyfriends apartment carrying a suitcase and a few small pieces of furniture so that when I moved in completely I wouldnt have to hire a crew of movers. When these boyfriends became frightened and backed away, I would hire detectives to follow them. I needed to know that they werent cheating on me. I would love my dates so much that I would become obsessed. I would dress like them, think like them, listen to the records they enjoyed. I would forget a. Codice articolo DADAX0316779423
