A carnival of snackery : diaries (2003-2020) / David Sedaris.

Sedaris, David, (author,, narrator.). Ullman, Tracey, (narrator.). Hachette Audio (Firm) (Added Author). Playaway Digital Audio. (Added Author). Findaway World, LLC. (Added Author).

Summary:
"There's no right way to keep a diary, but if there's an entertaining way, David Sedaris seems to have mastered it. If it's navel-gazing you're after, you've come to the wrong place; ditto treacly selfexamination. Rather, his observations turn outward: a fight between two men on a bus, a fight between two men on the street, pedestrians being whacked over the head or gathering to watch as a man considers leaping to his death. There's a dirty joke shared at a book signing, then a dirtier one told at a dinner party--lots of jokes here. Plenty of laughs. These diaries remind you that you once really hated George W. Bush, and that not too long ago, Donald Trump was just a harmless laughingstock, at least on French TV. Time marches on, and Sedaris, at his desk or on planes, in hotel dining rooms and odd Japanese inns, records it."-- Provided by publisher.
