English Summary/英文概要： From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new book of essays taking his readers on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler’s experiences.
Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist’s shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 大卫•西达利斯用他独特的视角为我们带来一本全新的书籍，书中的小文章将带领广大读者们踏上一场充满了奇异与刺激的世界之旅。从法式牙医术的危险到澳洲笑翠鸟的进食习惯，从北京的蹲厕到到令人不解的北卡罗来纳好市多，我们从中学到的是一位充满好奇心的旅游者为我们带来的他所经历的荒诞与惊喜。
不论是对英国乡村乱丢杂物行为的抱怨，还是惊叹于动物标本店里诡异的人类胳膊，西达利斯将带领你踏上一场难忘的滑稽冒险之旅。（DC）
Awards/获奖情况："Sedaris is certainly worthy of hero worship-he so breezily translates the landscape through his bent, prismatic view that he makes you forget what a skillful narrator he is." Mark Washburn, "Charlotte Observer""
