I have been a fan of David Sedaris for years. I look forward to new essays and every Christmas revisit Holidays on Ice.
His latest offering is a departure from his essays as he takes on fiction, but Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk is told in true Sedaris fashion. The stories use animals, yet the behavior and topics are truly human. Some of the stories are quite graphic and sordid, but all are funny.
From the two storks talking about their children asking where babies come from (the mice bring them, duh!) to the new lab rat who blames the dying lab rat's illness on his bad attitude, they are smart and witty.
This book has gotten some mixed reviews, so it's probably not for the uptight and unimaginative
