Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is the second David Sedaris book I've read this year. I believe that leaves me only three books behind. This collection of stories centers more on his family members and is a little darker than his earlier works. In the most extreme example, you find out that while David thought his father kicked him out of the house for being listless, it turned out to be because he was gay. The description of his sister Tiffany is rather heartbreaking. Much like the people on Hoarders you know she is on a path to heartbreak but can't change course. I can hardly remember his brother coming up in earlier books but he gets a couple of chapters. To my complete and utter shock Paul sounds like a typical rural southerner. Not the kind you find in Raleigh where they grew up, but the kind you encounter 50 miles out of town where the South is overgrown. Don't get me wrong, there is still plenty of humor, but the stories are more raw. Or at least that's what I see when I read them at this point in my life.
