Barrel Fever B 英文原版

　　In David Sedaris’s world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred.
A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz and the National
Enquirer, Sedaris’s collection of stories and essays is a
rollicking tour through the American Zeitgeist: a man who is loved
too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage
suicide tried to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; and in his
essays, David Sedaris considers the hazards of rewards of smoking,
writing for Giantess magazine, and living with his scrappy brother
Paul, aka ‘The Rooster’. With a perfect eye and a voice infused
with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes and reads stories and
essays that target the soulful ridiculousness of our behaviour.
Barrel Fever is like a blind date with modern life – and anything
can happen.

　　David Sedaris lives in Paris. Raised in North Carolina, he has
worked as a housecleaner and most famously, as a part-time elf for
Macy’s. He is a regular contributor to Esquire and Public Radio
International, and his essays have been featured in The New Yorker
and Harper’s.
