Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk
By
David Sedaris
A collection of short stories put together by David Sedaris. At a quick glance it looks like a clever little book on the cover, but after reading several of his short collection of stories, what one finds (in reality) is a collection of 'fables' AND not just any cute little fables either. What Sedaris puts together comes packaged in something that appears innocent through the use of animals, but twist into something dark and twisted. Simple truths are revealed in the short stories, but not your everyday read.
Cleverly put together in continous fables. Honestly, not what I expected. Was it bad? No. Was it great? No. Was it shocking? Yes. And that's really what I took away form reading Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk. Like an author seeking shock effect...when he finished the final product he achieved was a serious shock effect in the shape of a fable.
