Sedaris then looks at life's absurdities with humour and intelligence. He remembers his father's dinnertime clothes, which were shirtsleeves and underpants. He recalls his first colonoscopy, which turned out to be remarkably pleasant. He also tells of the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered pygmy. The writing is by turns hilarious and moving, and it takes the reader on adventures that are not easily forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Should Read?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover what Sedaris remembers about his father's strange choice of dinnertime attire, told with humour and intelligence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy an account of a first colonoscopy that turns out to be a surprisingly pleasant experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow Sedaris as he weighs up buying the skeleton of a murdered pygmy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperience writing that moves between the hilarious and the moving while it takes a close look at life's absurdities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Sedaris\u003c\/strong\u003e was born on December 26, 1956, and works as a humorist, comedian, author and radio contributor.
