Why is it that when the truth can be so much sexier, scarier and oh-so-much-more profound than the recycled fiction that is mainstreamed into our lives on a daily basis that documentaries can be so goddamned dry? Enter the new generation of wittier-than-thou writers who have rescued the non-fiction aisle in Barnes and Noble with their narcissistic yet self-deprecating commentaries on themselves that have won rave reviews by just about every narcissistic yet self-deprecating cultural elitist across the country. The wit and wisdom of David Sedaris, author of the hilarious yet disturbing Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked and brother of Amy Sedaris from the hilarious yet disturbing Strangers With Candy, has branched topics as varied as the elves at Macy's to Jesus' shaving habits. Scathingly honest and funnier than a Mariah Carey video, Sedaris has more to offer than Dave Chapelle oral sex jokes. Where do you think we steal all of our material from?
