Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris

Reviews of Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk have started coming in, and they're good as usual!  Instead of his normal personal essays, Sedaris has switched to animal stories for this one.  They're still astute observations of day-to-day life, though, both funny and reflective.  The Globe and Mail has a great review:

"Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk is an extraordinary little book, almost indescribable, but one that also feels (perhaps because of the humanity of the beasts) quite familiar. Sedaris rattles our cages with his “modest bestiary,” painting us in our barber's chairs, our dinner tables, our sickbeds. We need to have that mirror held up to us, from time to time, by someone like Sedaris, who has the talent and the means to remind us that – sometimes – human behaviour can be simply beastly."
