    I agree. Why “Freedom” received such great reviews is beyond me. I too love David Sedaris. I’ve not read David Rakoff but I’ll add him to my list. Thanks! Have you tried Christopher Moore? His book “Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal” is a hoot.

    Thanks for your response to my query about reading “Freedom”. I should have listened to you. Your review was spot on. But I guess I just had to see what all the buzz was about, so I read it. You were so right; it did seem as if the author had contempt for his characters. In his attempt to have the four main narrators be unflinchingly honest about their feelings, motivations and thoughts the author made them so unpleasant and unlikable I could barely finish the book.
