A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

David Sedaris's beloved holiday collection is new again with six more pieces, including a never before published story. Along with such favorites as the diaries of a Macy's elf and the annals of two very competitive families, are Sedaris's tales of tardy trick-or-treaters ("Us and Them"); the difficulties of explaining the Easter Bunny to the French ("Jesus Shaves"); what to do when you've been locked out in a snowstorm ("Let It Snow"); the puzzling Christmas traditions of other nations ("Six to Eight Black Men"); what Halloween at the medical examiner's looks like ("The Monster Mash"); and a barnyard secret Santa scheme gone awry ("Cow and Turkey").

No matter what your favorite holiday, you won't want to miss celebrating it with the author who has been called "one of the funniest writers alive" ( Economist ).

Revue de presse :

"He's the best there is."― Judith Newman, People

"A joy to read....Sedaris is a connoisseur of human nature at its worst."― Christopher Muther, Boston Globe

"Sedaris is certainly worthy of hero worship....He is a master pathfinder."― Mark Washburn, Charlotte Observer

"A writer comparable to Mark Twain or James Thurber. You have to go back a ways to find someone to compare David Sedaris with; his talent is so huge it just doesn't come around that often."― Melissa King, Raleigh News & Observer
