In what is supposed to be a humorous critique of a kids school performance ('Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol') he criticizes the casting of a young Black boy saying, 'It’s a distracting move, wrongheaded and pointless.' Likewise, Mr. Sedaris’ life, his alcoholic mother who died of cancer and his younger sister Tiffany who committed suicide, are the subject of his most powerful pieces. As a fan, it is fun to have a chance to survey Sedaris’ writerly tics. He’s hilarious and poignant at the same time, honest and ridiculous. ![]() |
