Who would the book appeal to?
This book would appeal to younger audience that has an appretation for post modern literature.
What about it is appealing?
The format, a collection of essays, is a fresh change in pace rather than the normal chronological order. Sedaris also uses a humerous style of wrtiting that keeps you turning the page.
What obstacles should student readers of this book be ready for?
The author is gay. Also, the book does not follow a regular plot structure.
What would students need to know about in order to understand the book?
The author is gay. It is a collection of essays rather than a book divided by chapters.
Is there any “mature” content in the book? If so, what kind of content? How would you deal with such content in class?
There is mature content in the book. There are plenty of obscenities to go around. Also the F word is used as a verb several times in this book. If this book was being read by pretty much any senior in highschool, it shouldnt really be an issue. Perhaps a permission slip at most.
