Title: Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
First published: 2004
Description: David Sedaris plays in the snow with his sisters. 
He goes on vacation with his family. 
He gets a job selling drinks.
He attends his brother’s wedding. 
He mops his sister’s floor. 
He gives directions to a lost traveler. 
He eats a hamburger. 
He has his blood sugar tested.

It all sounds so normal, doesn’t it?

In his newest collection of essays, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives — a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is another unforgettable collection from one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today.
