Barrel Fever and Other Stories

De: David Sedaris

Narrado por: David Sedaris, Amy Sedaris

In David Sedaris' world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz, and the National Enquirer, Sedaris' collection of essays is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tries to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; a bitter Santa abuses the elves.
David Sedaris made his debut on NPR's Morning Edition with "SantaLand Diaries", recounting his strange-but-true experiences as an elf at Macy's, and soon became one of the show's most popular commentators. With a perfect eye and a voice infused with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes stories and essays that target the soulful ridiculousness of our behavior. Barrel Fever is like a blind date with modern life, and anything can happen.

David Sedalia at his best

As a writer, storyteller and reader, David` Sedaris has done another fine job. These stories are original and engaging—-and fun.

Classic Sedaris..

Fans of Sedaris will love this collection of essays and stories. Sedaris has a wit about him like no other. Very LGBTQIA+ friendly. Highly recommend if you enjoy hilarity & well written stories. This is an early collection from Sedaris. This book is exactly why I fell in love with this author.

Another delight

Listening to David and Amy Sedaris reading was an utter utter delight! I hope he will include more family members in his readings in the future!

The usual wit from a very funny man 😊... Original, provocative, silly and gutbustingly funny.
