As I've already talked at length about two other similar books, here and here, I'm just going to quote a short section from this book.
"Let me get this straight," one student said. "You're telling me that if I say something out loud, it's me saying it, but if I write the exact same thing on a paper, it's somebody else, right?"
"Yes," I said, "And we're calling that fiction."
The student pulled out his notebook, wrote something down, and handed me a sheet of paper that read, "That's the stupidest fucking thing I ever heard in my life."
They were a smart group. (93)
I like reading Sedaris's stuff.
