"An acute observer and master of the quick, excoriating takedown,
Sedaris claims new territory in this exceptionally gutsy and
unnerving collection."
---Donna Seamn, Booklist
"Artfully milked embarrassing personal incidents for literary
laughs...There are plenty of well-cut gems, including one about an
ill-fated adoption of some sea turtles that's both hilarious and
touching."
---Thom Geier, Entertainment Weekly
"David Sedaris has become a signifier of taste and
intelligence....Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls was the kind of
book that I finished and just immediately wanted to start reading
again."
---Anna Peele, Esquire
"Fresh....funny, whimsical, unexpected, and never obvious....Who
would anticipate that an encounter with an Australian bird could be
so damn touching?"
---Sherryl Connelly, New York Daily News
"Hilarious....Winning....Sedaris's experiences are an endless
source of good material." ---Danielle Trussoni, People
"If you are a David Sedaris fan, any new book from the humorist is
cause for celebration. His newest offering, Let's Explore Diabetes
with Owls, is no exception. It's quintessential Sedaris....There's
always a laugh-out-loud moment just around the corner."
---Craig Wilson, USA Today
"Ridiculously funny....A find for the reader who appreciates a
sense of humor....Sedaris, like the great humorists before him,
hits a nerve with his wit, which brings the reader into intimate
contact with the human condition."
---John Henry, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Sedaris makes coming-of-age seem ever new and ever remarkable, not
because his life was so very different from any of our own, but
because he brings fresh eyes to common experiences.... It's only
natural to laugh at all the comic abundance in Let's Explore, but
there's no crime in sticking around for the humanity."
-David Carr, New York Times Book Review
"The funniest writer in America....Sedaris is thoughtful and sweet
in addition to being slyly hilarious." ---Leigh Haber, Oprah
"This book is hysterical!"
--Reese Witherspoon
PRAISE FOR LET'S EXPLORE DIABETES WITH OWLS: "Sedaris is a
remarkably skilled storyteller and savvy essayist. He weaves
together vivid images and sensations into a coherent whole that
packs a serious emotional punch....Yes, David Sedaris is really
that good. And, based on this latest collection, he's getting only
better."
---Heather Havrilesky, Los Angeles Times
