Readers familiar with Sedaris' work know that his father doesn't always come off well in his essays. Aside from the pandemic-related ills that have affected all of us, Sedaris and his family have had personal losses in recent years, such as the death of his 98-year-old father in 2021. To be fair, he has plenty to be gloomy about. And that's saying something for a man who had to endure a stint as a department store elf, as he recounted in "Barrel Fever." ![]() It shouldn't surprise anyone that David Sedaris' latest collection, the ironically titled "Happy-Go-Lucky," has more touches of melancholy than in previous books.
