Cash and Carry, by David Sedaris

"I guessed correctly that the woman had found this cabinet on the curb, just as I had found my current desk chair and countless pieces of furniture in the past."

I read #GeorgeSaunders' collection of short stories, Liberation Day (Bloomsbury), in 2023. I recall vividly Love Letter, in which a grandfather writes a letter to his grandson during a time set in the future, but eerily familiar. I heard #DavidSedaris read the story on #TheNewYorker Fiction podcast yesterday. Now I know why it was so "eerily familiar"! 😟

It seems reading is currently a thing I do to get to sleep or wake up. But that's a good start when I couldn't read books post-covid.
David Sedaris writes books that are pleasant, humourous and relaxing to read. He basically exaggerates his life. I read this because I found it in our house.

- David Sedaris meets Pope Francis -

The Hem of His Garment

'I thought that the e-mailed invitation was spam. “Nice try, Russia,” I said to my laptop screen. But the Pope really did want to meet with comics and humorists.'

David Sedaris on the Wonders of Dallas Dry Cleaning

Where he's found his books shelved and where he heads for ice cream in Dallas.

"Our conversation was wide-ranging, including his thoughts on being a gay man visiting red states like Texas, the wonders of Dallas dry cleaning, and the odd places he’s found his book."
