I think that his book could appeal to a variaty of people. First of all it definatelly appeals to the gay population for obvious reasons. As I read into it seems that it's geared towards everyone. I would defenatily say young people, but I'd say it has enough range to easily appeal to a lot of middle aged people too.
The reason this book is appealing is because it's entertaining. That's why most people read. To be entertained. It's funny and intresting. You want to find out what the next essay is going to bring. The way David Sedaris rights is also a lot of the reason. It's something different.
I don't see any big obstacles. It's not a paticularly hard book. The only thing i can think of is some homaphobes who couldn't get past the fact that the main character is gay. However the book is intended for everyone, not just homosexuals, so I don't think that the average person would be bothered by this.
There is definately mature content in this book. It's not paticularly graphic, but there is a wide range of things that are considered 'inapropriate' including an entire chapter devoted to chronic drug use.
There are many topics people could discuss. Just their opinions on the essays would be enough to get discussions going. I'm sure someone could find something in every essay that they could relate to in one way or another.
