David Sedaris never fails to put me in a better mood. His dry wit and unflinching world view are unmatched. Happy Go Lucky may be one of my favorite essay collections to date. The over-arching theme is the slow death of his 98 year old father but interspersed are stories of his teeth, young gay love in France, mask wearing, hurricanes, and so much more. Lou Sedaris was a complicated man and his children all had difficult relationships with him - but in his later years he turned into a pussycat. Laugh out loud funny, heartfelt, and filled with wry observations, Sedaris is the absolute best.
