Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk by David Sedaris

I laughed like one time in this entire set of stories and spent the rest of it feeling disgusted. I feel kind of disturbed by it. It's disturbing. And a bit gross. And creepy. I think it's meant to be witty but I didn't think it was very funny because it was just depressing.

A decent read. The ending was very, very finely written - the style that I found a little dragging in the middle worked to great effect at the end.
