Description
Sedaris buys a beach house on the Carolina coast and envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun. Life is as idyllic as he imagined, except he realizes that it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself. Much of the comedy in his writing is born out of the realization that his body has betrayed him in middle age, and he realizes that the story of his life is made up of more past than future.
