“Wickedly funny.” 

Los Angeles Times 

Featuring acclaimed humorist David Sedaris's unique blend of hilarity and heart, this illustrated collection of animal-themed tales is an utter delight.

Though the characters may not be human, the situations in these stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the insanity of everyday life. In "The Toad, the Turtle, and the Duck," three strangers commiserate about animal bureaucracy while waiting in a complaint line. In "Hello Kitty," a cynical feline struggles to sit through his prison-mandated AA meetings. In "The Squirrel and the Chipmunk," a pair of star-crossed lovers is separated by prejudiced family members.

With original illustrations by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ian Falconer, these stories are David Sedaris at his most observant, poignant, and surprising.

"Wickedly funny …These are some of Sedaris's best stories … The animals have given Sedaris's humor some new teeth: tiny and sharp, and sometimes even ready to draw blood."―The Los Angeles Times

    Solid Sketches from a Favorite Comedian

    I can’t help but love David Sedaris. His deadpan, nasally voice speaks to me somehow. And his performance in “Spuirrel Seeks Chipmunk” is no exception. One of his more diverse collections, Sedaris introduces us to his more “creative” side—disturbing tales of woodland creatures. These are by far the most memorable in this collection, and it’s truly a shame that all of them aren’t read by Sedaris himself. Nonetheless, Sedaris’ cynicism shines through, and I found myself laughing at things I never thought I should laugh about. Also sprinkled throughout are stories about Sedaris’ life—tales of his wayward, drug-induced 20s and childhood. The best is when Sedaris becomes an experimental performance artist, and his father accidentally steals the limelight. A must for Sedaris lovers, though newcomers would be better off starting with a different collection.
