It’s no surprise that he doesn’t allow those who stand in line to purchase an autographed book to take pictures with him. But travel wearies Sedaris, as do most other people. This book’s primary theme seems to be the travails of a successful author as he fulfills his tiresome obligations to accept invitations to read his work out loud in exotic locations like China, Rotterdam, and Costco.
Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls has moments of that trademark understated irony, but it’s more self-absorbed than his earlier collections. He’s at his best when talking about his family or childhood memories, or wryly observing society’s foibles. I usually like the work of David Sedaris. With Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls, David Sedaris shows once again why he has been described as 'a man who could capture your heart and lift your spirits while reading out the ingredients of a rice cake'(Observer). The common thread? Sedaris masterfully turns each episode into a love story: how it feels to be in a relationship where one loves and is loved over many years what it means to be part of a family and how it's possible, through all of life's absurdieties, to accept oneself. In Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls, Sedaris remembers his father's dinnertime attire (shirtsleeves and underpants), his first colonoscopy (remarkably pleasant), and the time he considered buying the skeleton of a murdered Pygmy. When this guy is David Sedaris, the possibilities are endless, but the result is always the same: he will both delight you with twists of humor and intelligence and leave you deeply moved. A guy walks into a bar and finds no one else it there.
