Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary by David Sedaris When I need a time-out from the heavy issues of our society, real or novelized, I like to pick up the most absurd thing within reach. Sedaris’s animal fables of forbidden love, bureaucracy, and fad diets will make you laugh out loud and also put your worries in perspective. As with anything written by Sedaris, it’s double the fun to hear him read his work and Squirrel’s audio edition also features Elaine Stritch, so, c’mon, you’re not going to get better than that.
