Title: Barrel Fever: Stories and Essays Author: Sedaris, David ISBN: 9780316779425 Publisher: Back Bay Books Published: 1995 Binding: Quality Language: English Publisher Description: In David Sedaris's world no one is safe and no cow is sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Liebowitz, and the National Enquirer, Sedaris's collection of stories and essays is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a bitter Santa abuses the elves; a teenage suicide tries to incite a lynch mob at her funeral.
