This is an old David Sedaris story on an old episode of This American Life. Not his best, but certainly great.

  • The man's a genius.

  • Wow. That sounds like some of the people in my extended family! Pretty lame to spend your whole life missing out on things because those closest to you badmouth and criticize them :-| A delightful yarn with a powerful message.

  • LOVE Sedaris! 

  • I think Sedaris is just brilliant!

  • @veggeep Amen!

  • This story was saved by the last line.....Hemmingway used to do that with his short stories..

  • Well lets just all kill ourselves then...

  • You just had to know that such a keen and observant mind as Sedaris's would record angst as well.

  • Great that he's finally published a book with these. Even though they're never my favorites, they are cute

  • I've yet to listen to this without my eyes getting wet. So beautifully sad.

  • does anybody know the story about the dog that had come to a prison group therapy meeting and meets cat that dispises? it was on this american life not sure which episode? anybody?
