Revue de presse

'Practical and hilarious' (Publishers Weekly Starred review)

'Her off-the-wall entertaining techniques can now be yours...Each situation is handled with an aplomb that can only come from a lifetime of hostessing...Though the lifestyle elements that run through the book may bring to mind a more whimsical cousin of Martha Stewart, Sedaris in action is actually more reminiscent of Julia Child, with directions and details that are refreshingly candid.' (New York Post)

'The times call for a heroine, someone to lift us above the malaise, who can inspire us by daring to live a life worth emulating. The times call for a modern-day Marie Antoinette...To take up her queenly mantle, may we suggest Amy Sedaris.' (News and Observer, New York)
