Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is my favorite book by David Sedaris. My favorite story in this book and probably all of the other books he's written is The Perfect Apartment. David and his boyfriend Hugh, who live in Paris because they can smoke anywhere without being given the evil eye need to find a new apartment as their landlord plans on giving it to his daughter one day. They become very depressed after looking at "slums" in the area and realize that nothing is better than the apartment they already have. To lift their spirits the take a weekend trip to Amsterdam and David finds the perfect apartment, the Anne Frank Annex! He goes though the secret annex as a designer remodeling as he goes. My favorite line in the short story is "Remember that wall with the movie stars on it--gone!"
