Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
Featuring David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this new collection of keen-eyed animal-themed tales is an utter delight. Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life.
In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.
With original illustrations by Ian Falconer, author of the bestselling Olivia series of children's books, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.

David is able to zero in on human nature by using animals and the result is pure hilarity!!! Poignant, satisfying satire, that turns the mirror onto society.

I love David Sedaris but this is the worst book I've ever tried to read. I forced myself to read about half of the stories in this collection of shock tales thinking I was going to 'get it' soon. Nope. Why write a book of stories that made animals look worse than people in one horrific crapload of nonsense and cruel intent after another. Now I'm scared to read his next one even though I totally loved all the ones before this. So horrible.

This latest book from one of my all time favorite authors is a little different from his others, but it's still a great read. For any skeptics, I say, "Let an artist be an artist and create freely." If you insist on them creating the same work over and over, you prevent them from crafting something that may blow you away in an entirely new way. Amy and David are true artists and continue to blow me away with new and inventive projects.
