'Unquestionably the king of comic writing' Guardian

'His best, funniest, most satisfying book' Time Out

In Dress Your Family in Corduroy & Denim, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives - a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. This book finds one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today at the peak of his powers.

'Sardonic, funny, and wry, but at the same time there is a new strain of introspection that makes for a book with more emotional resonance... A Chekhovian brand of comedy' New York Times

'Like an updated Thurber: domestic, laconic, slightly warped but never bitter, and extremely funny' Sunday Times

'A delight' Sunday Telegraph
