Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris
Holidays on Ice is the second book of humorous essays I’ve read by David Sedaris. The first book was all biographical non-fiction. This one also included some purely fictional essays, which weren’t anywhere near as good. When he’s writing about himself as a homosexual man, I can relate to what he’s saying because he’s being real and down deep we’re all people with the same feelings and failings. But when he tries to write as a heterosexual woman, it’s just stereotypical silliness. It’s not funny because it’s no longer true.
