Review of 'Theft by finding' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

All of David Sedaris's self-read audiobooks worm themselves into your brain, replacing any inner monologue they find with his voice. However, "Theft by Finding" is the most "Being John Malkovich" of them all, as we're catapulted into fragments of his life over nearly three decades. Initially I could only stand it in pieces, waiting in line at the airport for sandwiches, but I finally decided to finish it in one, big gulp. It's a window into his writing process, but also "It's my head, Sedaris. It's my head!"
