Nacht Programm

David Sedaris plays in the snow with his sisters. He goes on vacation with his family. He gets a job selling drinks. He attends his brother’s wedding. He mops his sister’s floor. He gives directions to a lost traveler. He eats a hamburger. He has his blood sugar tested. It all sounds so normal, doesn’t it? In his newest collection of essays, 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. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is another unforgettable collection from one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today. Neue Geschichten aus der Hölle, die Familie heißt. Der vergötterte Vater ist in Wirklichkeit ein peinlicher Wicht, die Mutter hat dich sowieso nie verstanden, die Kameraden sind alle cooler und reicher als du. David Sedaris versteht es, die Schrecken des Jungseins und des Familienlebens so haarsträubend komisch und charmant zu schildern, dass sich plötzlich alle kleinen und großen Katastrophen der Jugend wie eine urkomische Autobiografie lesen When my family first moved to North Carolina, we lived in a rented house three blocks from the school where I would begin the third grade.
