David Sedaris doesn’t change much.\u00a0 That’s to be expected from a man who has written compellingly about his OCD, but it leaves a reviewer in a difficult place.<\/p>\n
Owls marks his return to the short personal essay after\u00a0 Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk<\/em>‘s side trip into fable.\u00a0 I liked Chipmunk<\/em><\/a>, but I’m not sure it was as well received as his essays.\u00a0 It’s unfair to start by saying that the man doesn’t change when stepping slightly outside his comfort zone gets him zapped.\u00a0 Still, if you picked up any of his other works, the content and format of Owls<\/em> is no surprise.<\/p>\n I quite enjoyed Owls<\/em>. Sedaris writes charmingly about himself, his quirky world, and our quirky world.\u00a0 Spending a few hours in his literary company is entertaining and rewarding.\u00a0 Owls<\/em> is written by Sedaris the established writer, and it is a little sad that it is not as thrilling and unexpected as Naked, <\/em><\/a>but it is every bit as enjoyable.<\/p>\n This is good fun if you like Sedaris’s writing.\u00a0 If you have disliked his work in the past, this isn’t going to win you over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" David Sedaris doesn’t change much.\u00a0 That’s to be expected from a man who has written compellingly about his OCD, but it leaves a reviewer in a difficult place.
