Not the best example of his writing I have read and enjoyed other books by David Sedaris which is why I bought `Santaland Diaries’ which is short book made up of a couple of typical memoir-type stories and a couple of short pieces of fiction:`Santaland Diaries’ recalls the time Sedaris spent as an elf during one Christmas at Macy’s. Sedaris puts his own spin on the revolting stream of families coming to visit Santa and how he attemped to make life more interetsing for himself during his time in this mind-numbing job…
Laugh out loud in places. Fast becoming a festive tradition now — I first read it in 2012, then last year listened to the radio version, and this year, got the full book. It’s a slim volume and the Santaland Diaries only take up less than half the book, but the rest of the offerings are pretty good, if not on a par with the feature story. I still prefer Sedaris audio though, his voice just sells the melodrama.
I expected more I bought this having read lots of reviews from other readers and whilst it is a decent, easy read I don’t quite understand the adulation from some.It’s an amusing book but I found it a little predictable. The book is the story / notes of the time David Sedaris spent as an elf during a Christmas season at Macy’s. In it he covers off the mixture of families and individuals? that visit Santa and how he tries to avoid the boredom of being an Elf.I have not read anything…
