Synopsis
Barrel Fever and Other Stories is a 1994 collection of short stories and essays by David Sedaris. The book is divided into two sections. The first section consists of short fiction and the second half contains autobiographical essays. The most famous of the essays is "SantaLand Diaries", the essay that made Sedaris famous when he read it on National Public Radio in 1992. The essay tells of his experiences working as an elf at Macy's.
Reviews
On Aug 12 2019, a reader said:
This is Sedaris' first publication of the odd, quirky, self-revelatory stories and sketches about himself, his family, and the world through which he navigates as a gay native North Carolinian of Greek extraction. The stories are autobiographically edged, but not exact representational. Hilarious. "The Santa Land Diaries" alone are worth the price of admission.
