  • David Sedaris.
    We start reading Dress Your Family in Corduroy & Denim next week.
    Here are my beginning thoughts about what essays to use and notes on themes, etc.
    "Let It Snow" 13-16. Description of his mom/his lil' sister lays in the street. Start with this essay of his?
    "Us and Them" 3-12. The Tomkeys as crazy neighbors.
    "The Ship Shape" 17-29. Getting a vacation home.
    "Consider the Stars" 42-53. Popularity.
    "Monie Changes Everything" 54-71. Aunt Monie & her money. Family money, etc. Also, Aunt Monie's homosexual friend Phillip.
