So did you read "Dry"? Did you like it?
I agree that Sedaris and Burroughs have a similar writing style. Each has the ability to make you laugh until your stomach hurts, and then move you to tears, within the space of a page or two.
The short story by Sedaris called "Six to Eight Black Men" doesn't have any moments of pathos that I've been trying (most pathetically ) to describe, but is perhaps the funniest thing I've read in years, if not ever. He is so brilliant.
