Product ReviewsDress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris (2005, Trade Paperback)

Saw this one at the middle school Book Fair!

If you've never caught David Sedaris on NPR, or listened an audio recording read by the author -YOU MUST! It is impossible afterward to read Sedaris's work without hearing his voice. I was a little taken aback, however, when I saw this title at the Book Fair at the middle school where I teach 8th grade. You must know how the nude Barbie on the front cover catches the eye... can't believe no one complained.
Sedaris never holds back when examining -for his reader's amusement- the development of his understanding of society, his own sexuality, and especially family (if 'family' can in fact BE understood.) The narratives are unflinching, yet somehow he avoids gratuitousness ...is that even a word? Hilarious, and comforting at once.
Sedaris reminds us to appreciate the FUN in dysfunction.Read full review...

Good stories.

My son loved this book. So do I.

Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim

So you thought that you family was a bit odd... Sedaris keeps his prose as sharp as his observations as he describes his distinctly nonfunctional family. A collection, links between stories are not always there. One just has to accept it, just as one accepts what he says about this family and lover as accurate and faithful to the character. He has enough sibling stories for many more books. Felt a bit guitly laughing at some spots, but enjoyed Sedaris immensely. Definately Sedaris at his best.Read full review...

The best!

Hands down, the funniest book I have ever read. Reviews led me to believe NAKED was Mr. Sedaris's best work to date, and while NAKED was really, really good, DRESS YOUR FAMILY wins the blue-ribbon.

Great book

I love David Sedaris. The book is hilarious. I bought it based on past books by him, and it has been worth it so far.

Great

Well, I had to purchase it for school, but as I was reading it, it was actually interesting. The Sedaris humor is different and hilarious at times.

Amazing book
