Sedaris

Not one sentence in this essay gave me the slightest form of entertainment, enlightenment, or satisfaction.  All of it was utterly boring.  the story focuses on how Sedaris's family is dealing with his sister getting married and the inevitable death of his mother.  Sedaris doesn't want any of his siblings to get married  but it appears that Lisa doesn't care for his feelings on the topic.  They're all worried bout the mom because it is clear that she's going to die from cancer shortly however she seems to welcome death and the her husband only cares about Lisa getting married. to me it's amazing that someone actually chose to publish it.  Maybe the only thing more amazing then that is Sedaris choosing to write this essay in the first place.  I could probably walk around campus and find multiple people with stories similar to this one.  There's no twist in the story that makes it interesting.
