Sedaris' writing had a conversational tone to it. It did seem as though he was speaking directly to me by the sentence structure and punctuation he used. It came across to me as sarcastic and somewhat funny. His essay was much funnier on the audio as compared to written form. But, I think that may be due to hearing other people's laughter - because laughter can be infectious - than Sedaris reading his essay. It seemed he was relying on his words, rather than personality, to make it funny. It seemed awkward.
