This second volume of David Sedaris's diaries (2003-2020) follows on from Theft by Finding (1977-2002). His life is much more settled. He lives in France, England, and New York; and travels widely across the US, Europe, and east Asia. His career as a writer and performer is routine, with regular book tours. Much of his material comes from his travels (particularly his drivers) and from his interactions with people who stand in line to get their books signed. This audiobook version is narrated both by David Sedaris and Tracey Ullman. Initially I found the switching between two voices a bit uneven and distracting, but I eventually got used to it and appreciated that Tracey Ullman could do a more varied range of non-US English accents. A very enjoyable and funny listen, which made me laugh out loud numerous times. The 17+ hours whizzed by.
